God
is the Father who dwells in heaven.
Since He
gave such a great salvation, (Heb 2:3)
He gave eternal life to those who believe in God’s name (Acts 4:12).
God’s name, ‘Jesus’, is our faith (Jn 20:31),
God’s will is our faith (Jn 6:33-40),
God’s word is our faith (Heb 11:3),
He who is Immanuel is our faith (Mt 1:21-23),
and the authority and power which God gave is our faith (Mt 10:1).
What is the faith He gave us?
We do the works which the Son of God did (Jn 14:12);
and we can do even greater works (that were not shown to the world) than these.
Therefore, nothing is impossible for those who believe (Mk 9:23).
We should use the faith God gave us (Mk 5:34)
and be free by it (Jn 8:36).
Jesus healed sicknesses by the word (Mt 8:16),
drove out demons by the word,
laid hands to heal sicknesses (Mk 5:41),
and those who touched Jesus’ body were healed (Mk 5:27-28).
The kingdom of God is not only in words,
but in God’s power (1 Cor 4:20).
○ He put the Holy Spirit in our hearts
to reveal God’s work.
○ Jesus’ work was to preach the word,
heal sicknesses, and drive out demons
simultaneously – the Christian church is reality.
○ Morals and ethics without power is religion.
Religion builds up virtue but has no power of eternal life.
It has nothing to boast about.
※ Our faith is reality
and we can always receive His power in the present and anywhere.
Our faith is power. No matter what others say, it is power.
