A FRUITFUL Christian- Faith

It's that time again for another look at The Fruitful Christian.I can't believe how far we have come in this series; yet, here we are. Today we talk about the next fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5:22-23

Faith

Faith means- complete trust or confidence in someone or something.

Hebrew 11: 1
“Now FAITH is the substance of things ____________________ for, the evidence of things _____________ __________________.”

Faith- is believing what you can not see. There is no dictionary or encyclopedia that can best describe what faith really is. Plain and simple, faith-is believing God is WHO He says He is and He will do WHAT He says He will do.

Hebrews 11 6
“But without ____________________ it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must ____________________ that He is, and that He is a
rewarder of them that diligently ____________________
Him.”

Faith is the key that unlocks the door.

What door?
The door to salvation,
The door to answered prayers,
The door to changed lives,
The door to impossible situations
The door to a beautiful relationship with God.

Faith is the key that opens the door to miraculous opportunities.
Faith never gives up, no matter how bleak the situation.
Faith surpasses all expectations.
Faith moves forward, when all else fails.
Faith pushes to new heights.
Faith is the key.
Faith is the only key.
Will you pick up that key today?
Will you open the door of opportunity wide?
The possibilities are limitless

Interesting enough God didnt just stop here at having Faith, He goes on to say build on your faith!

2 Peter 1:5-8

"And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ"

Build on your faith:
Virtue
Knowledge
Temperance
Patience
Godliness
Brotherly Kindness
Charity

Do you need to build on your faith?
Look at the list above!
Have you tackled this entire list?

Probably not... it's a growing process. We should continually strive to grow in the Lord and grow our faith! None of us have arrived. But we can sure grow.

Today, seek God and increase your faith, make it stronger, and healthier!
