The power of faith is...
the foot of the soul - so it comes to Christ
the hand of the soul - so it receives Christ
the arm of the soul - so it embraces Christ
the eye of the soul - so it looks upon Christ
the mouth of the soul - so it feeds upon Christ
the lips of the soul - so it kisses Christ
Faith is infinitely precious. It grips the unfailing promises of the God of salvation.
The fruits of faith are precious: We are justified, Romans 5:1; sanctified, Acts 26:18; It is by faith we live, Romans 1:17; stand, Romans 11:20; walk, 2 Corinthians 5:7; wait, Galatians 5:5.
It is by grace we surrender our will to the living transforming Word of God. Without faith it is impossible to please Him Hebrews 11:6.
Faith should be progressive.
Faith grows through our growing knowledge of God, and of the fullness and faithfulness of His Word.
Faith must be fed and inspired.
The manner of its growth is from faith to faith, Romans 1:17.
Faith shall be triumphant.
Faith lays hold of the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.
Victorious faith overcomes the world, 1 John 5:4.
