Faith

Faith is a funny thing. At least, faith in God. So many times I think that we attribute faith to ourselves or others, however, I think that we have faith wrong...most of the time. Faith is not something we can choose to do, it is a gift. Faith is a gift from God. We cannot wake up one day and say,"Ahah! Today I shall have faith in God. I will believe in Him and all will be well." We cannot look at someone else and say, in an accusatory manner,"If you ONLY had faith, everything would be fine!" No...it does not work that way. If it did, that would mean that there was something that we had to contribute to make salvation work. It would mean that Christ's sacrifice on the cross, His death and resurrection, were not sufficient. Eph 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (9) Not of works, lest any man should boast. We have no work in our salvation. None. Nada. Zero. Zilch. Wow. What do you think? Obey
