The Good News Of Salvation

 The Good News Of Salvation and life eternal, is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Whether Old Testament saints or New Testament believers, the only way to access this free and eternal gift from the Father is to trust in His Word and believe in His Son.
 Faith is simply having the confidence that the future things God has revealed in His written Word, will unquestionably happen. The reformation verse that shattered corridors of Christendom was: "The just shall live by faith." The righteous person shall live by faith, the godly person, the virtuous person, the justified sinner, the maturing believer, are to all live by faith, as well as being saved by faith. 
 A living faith in God's Word and the confident hope in His promises are two graces that embrace each other in love at the foot of the Cross. This is not a  fingers-crossed and-hope-it-happens' type of faith. This is the faith that accepts without question that the Word of God is entirely dependable and is an indisputable fact.
 May the hope we have in Christ and the faith we have in God be built on the truth, of His Word and grounded on a sure conviction. May we never stumble when situations seem to go amiss, and may we be firmly persuaded: "He who started a good work in each of our lives is well able to bring it to completion."
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we can be so entrenched in our own thinking that sometimes we doubt Your Word and question Your promises, often wishing we had some concrete proof of Your love for us. Forgive us, Lord - we know that Your Word gives us all the affirmation of this absolute reality that we need. Your Word and promises are sure, and Your faithfulness stretches beyond the limits of time and space. Thank You for the gift of faith. We pray that, day by day, our loving trust in You will become increasingly established within our hearts we long to please You in all we say and do and am. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
