09/02/14 THERE IS POWER IN FAITH AND GRACE

I can either believe on Jesus or presume on Him.

I can either live by faith or by presumption.

Believing on Christ, living by faith is a dynamic, not a static experience, relationship.

Either I use my free will, which God gave me and God enables me to use, or I just continue in the way of disconnect from the grace and power of God (Jn. 7:17).

Faith is a response that God requires, not a condition that He imposes. I am saved BY grace, THROUGH faith (Ep. 2:8). Without faith it is impossible to please God (He. 11:6). Saving faith enables us to keep God's commands and to do that which is pleasing to God (1 Jn. 3:22).
