I see a lot f posts talking about what 'faith' ,yet most never say what 'faith' is,
Nor is there any mention of what 'FAITHING' into Yeshua means.
Maybe no one has made any mention of 'faith' this way..
Faith in Yeshua or rather 'faithing' into Yeshua would be the more accurate way of saying this.
For faith has an object,faith does not just randomly float through the air.
Who,or what is the object of your faith.
Wealth ( Money,stock,bonds, etc )
Health ( Physical )
Material possessions ( Homes,cars,jewelry,clothes etc )
Education
Yourself
Profession
IF Yeshua is not the object of our 'faith',no wonder the body of believers is in such sad condition.
Who or what is the object of your 'faith'?
Php 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
Php 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Well George I doubt if you intended it as such but you Just include all those things you seem to think are UnChristlike, they are all part of Man's redemption, and any other thought concerning those truth's are satan's attempts to talk man out of their salvation.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
� Revelation 3:20
In the Book of Revelation, Jesus addresses two churches in the last days that are in direct contrast to one another: the church of Philadelphia and the church of Laodicea. The church of Philadelphia is a church coming back to life, a church that is going through the door of opportunity.
On the other hand, the church of Laodicea is a church that is arrogant and full of itself. It has gotten so far away from the teachings of the Bible that Jesus Christ himself is on the outside, trying to get in.
It is to the church of Laodicea that Jesus made his very well-known statement: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me" (Revelation 3:20). These words were given to a church�can you imagine such a thing?
This serves as a reminder that a person may attend church and think he or she is a Christian but actually is not.
Are you ready for the Lord's return? It's closer than it has ever been before. Have you put your faith in Jesus Christ?
As predicted by the prophets, Jesus was born in Bethlehem. He lived a perfect life. And then He went to the cross and died for our sin, meeting the righteous demands of God. He absorbed the full wrath of God in our place. Then He rose again from the dead. Jesus stands at the door of our lives, and He knocks. He says that if we will hear His voice and open the door, He will come in.
So make sure your faith is real. Because you can't live off the faith of someone else.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
� Hebrews 11:6
Sometimes our prayers are not answered in the affirmative because we simply do not believe. Jesus could do no mighty works in His hometown because of unbelief (see Matthew 13:58). Scripture tells us that it is impossible to please God without faith: "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6).
Unbelief can hinder our prayers. When we think, Well, I don't really believe this can happen, then we have essentially canceled our own prayer. To not believe what God's Word says is true is to effectively call God a liar. James tells us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord" (James 1:5�7).
We must pray with faith. And if we lack faith, then we are to follow the example of the man who said to Jesus, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24). That prayer works. We don't need to have super faith, but we do need to have some faith�and we need to apply that faith in prayer.
Faith sees what could be. Faith is not just intellectual assent; it is action. It is a consent of the will to the assent of the understanding. Faith sees what could be, and a believer sees invisible things.
That is a very interesting remark for a christian, actually Bahira your response is a full blown example of carnality which is hatred against the lord.
