(S)
(F)
Faith is daring
the soul to go beyond what the eyes can see.
---------------
-- Romans 1:16-17
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the Power of God
for the salvation of everyone who believes:
first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed,
a righteousness that is by Faith from first to last, just as it is written:
"The righteous will live by Faith." (Habakkuk. 2:4)
-- Ephesians 4:5-6
5 One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism;
6 One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
-- 2 Corinthians 5:7
We walk by Faith, not by Sight.
-- 2 Corinthians 4:18
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is Eternal.
-- 1 Corinthians 16:13
Be on your guard; stand firm in the Faith;
Be courageous; Be strong.
-- Jude 1:20
But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most
Holy Faith
and Pray in the Holy Spirit.

Faith is ....
Faith Is...reliance on the certainty that God has a pattern for my life
when everything else seems meaningless
Faith Is...remembering I am God's priceless treasure
when I feel utterly useless
Faith Is...depending on the fact that God is love -
not on my ability to figure out why,
in the midst of smashed hopes, reversal and tragedy
Faith Is...keeping on when I'm tired, discouraged, disillusioned,
deserted, dusty, and dry and I cast on His strength alone
Faith Is...realizing that I am useful to God, not in spite of my scars,
but because of them
Faith Is...confidence that God is acting for my highest good
when He answers "No" to my prayers
Faith Is...accepting the truth that, in spite of the wreckage
and grief I've caused, God has wiped the slate clean and delights in me!
Faith Is...recognizing that God is the Lord of time when my idea of timing
doesn't agree with His
Faith Is...not a vague hope of a happy here after but an assurance of
heaven based on my trust in Christ's death as payment for my sins
Faith Is...remembering that, though my way is as dark as night to me,
God can see and guides me unerringly
Faith Is...doing the right thing regardless of the consequences
knowing God will turn the ultimate effect to good
Faith Is...the conviction the Promiser keeps His promises

-- Galatians 3:26
You are all children of God through
Faith in Christ Jesus.
-- Hebrews
11 (Chapter of Great Faith)
1 Now Faith is being sure of what we
hope for
and certain of what we do not see.
2 For by Faith the ancient obtained a good testimony.
3 By Faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command,
so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
6 And without Faith it is impossible to please God,
because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists
and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
-- Romans 10:17
Consequently, Faith comes from hearing the message,
and the message is heard through the Word of Christ.
-- 1 Corinthians 2:4-5
4 My message and my preaching were not with wise
and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,
5 so that your Faith might not rest on men’s wisdom,
but on God’s Power.
-- 1 Corinthians 15:14, 17
14 And if Christ has not been raised,
our preaching is useless and so is your Faith.
17 And if Christ has not been raised,
your Faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
-- Galatians 3:11
Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because,
"The righteous will live by Faith." (Hab.
2:4)
-- Romans 5:1-5
1 Therefore, since we have been justified through
Faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom we have gained access by Faith into this grace
in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings,
because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out
His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
-- Hebrews 10:38
But My righteous one will live by
Faith.
And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him."
-- James 2:17-18, 22
17 In the same way, Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by
action, is dead.
18 But someone will say, "You have Faith; I have deeds." Show me
your Faith without deeds, and I will show you my
Faith by what I do.
22 You see that his Faith and his actions were working together,
and his Faith was made complete by what he did.
-- 1 Peter 1:8-9
8 Though you have not seen Him, you love Him;
and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him
and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
9 for you are receiving the goal of your Faith, the salvation of your souls.
-- Luke 7:50
Jesus said to the woman, "Your
Faith has saved you; go in peace."
-- Mark 11:22
"Have Faith in God," Jesus answered.
-- Luke 17:6
He replied, "If you have Faith
as small as a mustard seed,
you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’
and it will obey you.
-- Romans 1:8
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you,
because your Faith is being reported all over the world.
-- Ephesians 3:16-17
16 I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you
with power through His Spirit in your inner being,
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through Faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love.
-- Philemon 1:6
I pray that you may be active in sharing your
Faith, so that you will
have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.
-- Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you
trust in Him,
so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
