What is Faith? (1)

What does faith say in the bible?

Most people today will be saved if theybelieve in Jesus and go to heaven.

You will not get eternal life because youbelieve in Jesus, you worship on Sundays,

I pray, I fast, I stay all night, I evangelize,I do service.

Because you believes in Jesus, you became apastor, an elder, an evangelist,

You will say that because I believe in Jesus,I have been given various offices and various jobs.

It is said that Jesus is devoted to servingthe kingdom of God;

Is this true belief?

Jesus came to this earth, the meaning of hisname

Was to save us from our sins (Matthew 1:21).

When we say we believe in God, we need to besaved from our sins.

It tells us to believe, but faith has to dowith sin.

We humans go to hell because of our sins

Because of sin, we became enemies with God,

and because of my sin, I was supposed to goto eternal death and hell.

In order to solve the problem of sin, ourJesus

came under the law. (Romans 8: 3. Gal 4: 4)

That is why it is said that faith is perfect.

The master of faith is Jesus Christ. (Hebrews12:2)

Therefore, we must know that the subject ofour faith is Jesus Christ.

(1 John 5: 1 Gal 3: 22 Romans 3: 20)

Gal 2:16

It is not by works of the law that a personis justified, but through faith in Jesus Christ

We also believe in Christ Jesus, knowing thatwe are born as sinners,

that by faith in Christ we may be justified;by works of the law the flesh is to be justified

So, with the conviction that we believe inJesus Christ,

 wemust be righteous.

To be called righteous  is to set yourself free from sin (Romans3:23-24).

Through the redemption in Jesus Christ, we

Tare now  justified. (Romans 6: 3-11)

and Paul said in

Romans 6: 16-18

To whomever you present yourselves as slavesto obey, you know that to whomever you obey, you are slaves.

Do you not know? Or that the slavery of sinleads to death, or the slavery of obedience leads to righteousness. Thank God.You were originally slaves of sin, but by obeying from your heart the exampleof the doctrine that was delivered to you, you have been set free from sin andbecome slaves to righteousness.

This is referred to as belief.

Ultimately, the definition of faith isfreedom from sin and becoming righteous.

There is only one way to be free from sin.

We know that there is no other way than tocarry the cross.

It should be clear from the Bible.

In Romans 6-9, the Apostle Paul explains well

He come to chapter 10 and conclude byexplaining how we are justified.

A man obeys the pattern of precepts with hisheart,

When he says that he is set free from sin andbecomes a slave to righteousness,

Verse 10: With the heart a man believes,resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses.

He is said to bring salvation (Romans10:9-10).

We are justified in Galatians 2:16-17

It is not by works of the law that a man isjustified.

not by our good deeds

It means that we are justified by faith inJesus Christ.

That is why we are justified by faith inJesus Christ.

In verse 20, It says, “I am with Christ”

has been crucified; therefore, I no longer Iwho live

but Christ lives in me, and now I am in theflesh

To live because he loved me and gave himselfup for me

 (Galatians2:20)

So the first thing to say about faith is thatit has to do with sin.

Through one man sin entered the world, and

Death came because of this, but sinners mustgo to hell

Because of this (Romans 5:12), God has freedus from sin and made us righteous.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God was

 Senton this earth (Romans 5:19, 21)

Jesus Christ came to destroy sin and takeaway sin

So we need to love Jesus Christ

If you believe, you are miraculouslyjustified. (Romans 3:20-24)

Faith is the relationship between God and man.

It is the relationship that makes manrighteous before God.

We are justified because of Jesus Christ.

We are not justified by the works of the lawbecause we need to live a good life.

We are not justified by fasting and praying,

We do not become righteous just because youwork hard to help others and do good deeds.

The only way one who can justified betweenGod and me is to die on the cross.

He has risen to become Lord and Christ(Galatians 2:16, Acts 2:36).

What is Faith?

So when you say what you believe,

The first is that I am freed from sin.

My freedom from sin is that our old man mustbe taken away.

We must die on the cross with Jesus

Because the body of sin is destroyed and weare freed from sin.

In such away a person is freed from sin andjustified

Paul is giving a definition (Romans 6:6-7).
