Believe In The Lord Jesus Christ

 The gospel of Christ reveals the uncompromised righteousness of God, which is based on faith: "Believe In The Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for our sins according to the Scriptures. Believe that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures."
 The truth of the gospel of God and His perfect plan to reconcile humankind back to Himself, without compromising His holy character, reveals God's perfect yet uncompromised righteousness, and it is all by grace through faith in Christ Jesus our Lord.
 The first step of faith is to BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. But God's righteousness is further revealed "from faith to faith," God is faithful to carry out the good work that He started in each of His redeemed children.
 Foundational faith in Christ's sacrificial death needs to continue into a life that is lived by faith. As we grow in grace and mature in the faith we move from one degree of faith to another measure of faith. We are SAVED by faith. We called to LIVE by faith and instructed to keep on living by faith, knowing that He who started a good work in us will be faithful to complete it in the day of Christ Jesus.
 We are justified by faith, sanctified by faith and one day we will be glorified, when we shall SEE Him as He is. That is the time when faith will be rewarded by sight.
For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gospel of Christ. Thank You that the righteousness of God has been revealed in the Cross, where Christ suffered the punishment for our sins and paid the price for our redemption with His holy and precious blood. Thank You that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ. Lord, We want to live our lives by faith and grow in grace from one degree of faith to the next, until Christ is formed in us. Our lives are not our own, we have been bought with a price. We pray that our lives may be lived by faith, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
