DOCTRINE OF FAITH TOWARD GOD

THE DOCTRINE OF FAITH TOWARDS GOD

Introduction

IN THE NEW COVENANT MESSAGE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN JESUS CHRIST EMPHASIZED AND PROMOTED THE FAITH OF GOD THE FATHER.

BOTH UNDER THE OLD COVENANT AND UNDER THE NEW COVENANT FAITH IN GOD IS REQUIRED.

THE SCRIPTURES STATES THAT WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD.

THEREFORE WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE DOCTRINE OF FAITH TOWARD GOD.

WE BEGIN THE LIFE AS A DISCIPLE OFF JESUS CHRIST BY EXERCISING OUR FAITH IN GOD; BUT WE MUST END THIS LIFE BY HAVING THE FAITH OF GOD IN JESUS CHRIST IN US BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

I. WE MUST HAVE OUR FAITH ESTABLISH IN GOD: ▪ FAITH IN GOD

▪ FAITH IN CHRIST

II. WE MUST HAVE GOD’S FAITH ESTABLISH IN US THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT:

THE FAITH OF GOD IS THE FAITH THAT BELONGS TO GOD WHICH WE MUST PURSUE AND OBTAIN IN ORDER TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

▪ FAITH OF GOD

▪ FAITH OF CHRIST

THE CONDITION OF OUR FAITH BRINGS THE PROMISES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO US.

ACCORDING TO OUR FAITH IN CHRIST AND CHRIST FAITH IN US WILL THE HOLY SPSIRIT IMPART THE THINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN TO US ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD THE FATHER THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

WHEN WE COME TO CHRIST AND ARE BORN OF GOD; WE ARE IN A BATTLE FOR FAITH TOWARDS GOD AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD. SATAN WILL BATTLE US SPIRITUALLY IN OUR MINDS AND HEARTS TO DESTROY OUR FAITH IN GOD THE FATHER, JESUS CHRIST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT TO PREVENT US FROM ENTERING THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

FAITH IS A SPIRITUAL LAW IN WHICH WE MUST EXERCISE OUR FAITH IN GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST WHO WILL ALLOW THE FAITH OF GOD TO BE SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT JUST AS THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED INTO OUR HEARTS ROM 5:5.

FAITH IS BEING PURSUADED – THE ASSURANCE AND CONFIDENCE – THAT GOD IS ABLE TO PERFORM HIS WORD (HAS THE AUTHORITY, THE POWER AND THE ABILITY); EVEN IF HE CHOOSES NOT TO PERFORM IT.

FAITH IS TOTAL ALLEGIANCE AND DEPENDENCE ON JESUS CHRIST EVEN TO THE POINT OF DEATH. IT IS TOTAL TRUST IN

❖ YOUR FAITH

THERE IS A FAITH THAT BELONGS TO US; BUT OUR FAITH CANNOT SAVE US OR GIVE US THE ETERNAL PROMISES FROM GOD. OUR FAITH MUST BE IN THE FAITH OF GOD.

THE CONDITION OF OUR FAITH BRINGS THE THINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO US. ACCORDING TO OUR FAITH IN GOD WILL BRING THE THINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN TO US ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD THE FATHER THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

❖ ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH

EVERY DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST BEGINS THE LIFE OF A DISCIPLE IN JESUS CHRIST BY BELIEVING CHRIST IN THEIR OWN FAITH THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US IN OUR HUMAN SPIRIT. WHEN WE COME TO CHRIST HE SHAPES AND INCREASES OUR FAITH IN GOD.

❖ THY FAITH

OUR FAITH IN GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST HEALS BOTH SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY.

KEEPING THE LAW OF MOSES AND THE PROPHETS DID NOT BRING HEALING TO THE WOMAN WHO HAD AN ISSUE OF BLOOD.

ACCORDING TO THE LAW SHE SHOULD HAVE SEPERATED HERSELF UNTIL THE ISSUE STOPPED AND THEN PRESNETD HERSELF TO THE PRIEST TO BE DECLARED CLEANSED. FOR 12 YEARS SHE WAS NOT HEALED.

BUT COMING OUT FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW OF MOSES TO HAVE FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST BROUGHT HER HEALING.

▪ A FEARFUL HEART

UNGODLY FEAR TAKES ROOT IN OUR SPIRITUAL HEART AND MUST BE DEALT WITH BY THE POWER OF GOD THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Isa 35:4 (KJV) Say ^H559to THEM THAT ARE OF A FEARFUL ^H4116 HEART, ^H3820Be strong, ^H2388FEAR ^H3372NOT: behold, your God ^H430will come ^H935with vengeance, ^H5359even God ^H430with a recompence; ^H1576he will come ^H935and save ^H3467you.

WE START BY OUR FAITH IN GOD; BUT END WITH GOD’S FAITH FULLY ESTABLISHED IN US.

WE MUST BE PURSUING THE FAITH OF GOD.

THE FAITH REQUIRED TO LIVE AS A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST AND ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS KINGDOM FAITH – FAITH THAT GOES BEYOND THE GRAVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD OPERATES BY THE FAITH OF GOD – AND NOT BY FEELINGS.

IN TODAY’S FAST PACE WORLD, MEDICAL SCIENCE IMPROVEMENTS AND RAPIDLY INCREASING TECHNOLOGY, DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST HAVE TO GUARD AGAINST BEING LED AWAY FROM THE LIFE OF FAITH THAT WE ARE CALLED TO NOW AND THAT IS REQUIRED FOR KINGDOM LIVING WITH GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST.

OUR FAITH MUST RELY ON THE FAITH OF GOD. OUR FAITH MUST GO BEYOND THE SYSTEM OF THIS CORRUPT WORLD AND THE GRAVE.

TO REMAIN A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST WE MUST HAVE FAITH THAT MUST NOT FAIL!

AS DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST WE MUST LIVE A LIFE OF FAITH IN ORDER TO BE VICTORIOUS.

SATAN OUR ARCH ENEMY MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO DESTROY OUR FAITH IN GOD THE FATHER, JESUS CHRIST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.

❖ WHO BROUGHT THE FAITH OF GOD TO THE WORLD? THE FAITH OF GOD CAME TO THE WORLD IN JESUS CHRIST TO REPLACE THE LAW OF MOSES FOR THE RIGHTEOUS REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SPIRITUAL LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH. WE START OFF WITH OUR FAITH IN GOD MAR 11:22; BUT MUST OBTAIN THE FAITH OF GOD WHICH IS ONLY IN JESUS CHRIST TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

THE FAITH OF GOD DID NOT COME WITH THE LAW OF MOSES. THE LAW OF MOSES IS A LAW OF WORKS AFTER THE FLESH AND COULD NOT PROMOTE THE LAW OF FAITH ROM 3:27 IN CHRIST JESUS. THE LAW OF MOSES FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS ENDED BY FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST FOR THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS FROM GOD.

THE LAW OF MOSES WAS AFTER THE FLESH AND COULD HAVE ONLY SATISFIED THE LETTER OF THE SPIRITUAL LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.

THE FAITH OF CHRIST IS AFTER THE SPIRIT AND IS REQUIRED TO SATISFY THE SPIRIT OF THE SPIRITUAL LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.

❖ HOW DO WE RECEIVE THE FAITH OF GOD OR THE FAITH OF CHRIST?

WE MUST HAVE FAITH IN GOD; BUT WE NEED THE FAITH OF GOD.

WE BEGIN WITH OUR FAITH IN GOD; BUT WE MUST OBTAIN THE FAITH OF GOD BY THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH JESUS CHRIST IN ORDER TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. THE FAITH OF GOD IS BOTH A GIFT FROM GOD AND A FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

WE MUST PURSUE THE FAITH OF CHRIST WITH OUR FAITH. OUR FAITH MUST BE IN THE FAITH OF CHRIST BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

FAITH MUST BE IMPARTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT INTO OUR HEARTS AND MINDS:

I. THE FAITH OF GOD IS A FRUIT IMPARTED INTO OUR HEARTS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

II. THE FAITH OF GOD IS A GIFT IMPARTED INTO OUR HEARTS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

THERE IS FAITH THAT BELONGS TO GOD WHICH WE MUST SEEK AFTER BY THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. WHETHER WE HAVE FAITH IN GOD OR NOT THE FAITH THAT BELONGS TO GOD DOES NOT CHANGE.

❖ WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FAITH AND PATIENCE FROM GOD?

❖ WHAT IS THE DECEPTION OF THE FAITH OF GOD WE ARE WARNED ABOUT IN THE BIBLE BY THOSE USING THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST?

THERE IS A MAJOR DECEPTION IN THE FAITH OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS BY THOSE WHO ARE PROMOTING WE ARE UNDER GRACE AND NOT UNDER LAW AND HENCE WE DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUSIVE OF THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH.

THIS IS A MAJOR DECEPTION BY SATAN AGAINST THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH OF GOD (1 TIM 3:9); WHICH CAN ONLY BE REVEALED BY GOD THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT. THIS SPIRITUAL DECEPTION IS CALLED BY THE APOSTLE PAUL “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY” IN 2 THESS 2:7.

The Doctrine of Faith toward God -11-Jun-13 Page 55

THIS DISCEPTION WAS ALSO PROPHESIED IN DANIEL 7:25 AS AN END TIME PROPHECY IN WHICH SATAN’S SPIRIT WILL BE BEHIND A MAN WHO WILL THINK TO CHANGE LAWS (LAW OF GOD) AND TIMES (SABBATH TIME).

NOT EVERYONE WHO USES THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST HAVE THE FAITH OF GOD WHICH CAME WITH CHRIST AND IS REQUIRED TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. OUR FAITH IN NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR HEALING IN THE FLESH IS NOT THE FAITH OF GOD THAT IS REQUIRED FOR US TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WHICH ONLY COMES FROM GOD.

OUR FAITH IS REQUIRED TO ACCESS THE FAITH OF GOD THROUGH CHRIST JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.

THE MYSTERY OF INIQIUTY IS PROMOTING FAITH IN THE NAME AND AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST; WHILE DENOUNCING THAT THE SPIRITUAL LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUSIVE OF THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH IS NO LONGER REQUIRE TO BE KEPT (UNDER GRACE AND NOT UNDER LAW).

MANY ARE BEING DECEIVED BY SATAN’S MINISTERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (2 COR 11:3-4; 2 COR 11:13-15) INTO REJECTING THE FAITH OF GOD WHICH CAME WITH CHRIST JESUS TO ESTABLISH THE SPIRITUAL LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH. Rom 3:31 (KJV) DO WE ^{G2673 G0}THEN ^G3767MAKE VOID ^G2673THE LAW ^G3551THROUGH ^G1223FAITH? ^G4102God forbid: ^G3361^G1096 yea, ^G235WE ESTABLISH ^G2476THE LAW. ^G3551

WE MUST DEPEND ON THE HOLY SPIRIT TO KEEP US FROM DECEPTION IN THE FAITH OF GOD IN JESUS CHRIST. Rom 8:14 (KJV) For ^G1063AS MANY AS ^G3745ARE LED ^G71BY THE SPIRIT ^G4151OF GOD,^G2316they ^G3778are ^G1526the sons ^G5207of God. ^G2316

THE HOLY SPIRIT REVEALS THE TRUTH OF THE FAITH OF GOD TO US IN CHRIST JESUS.

MANY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LAW OF MOSES WHICH IS THE OLD COVENANT AND THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WHICH ARE THE WORDS OF THE NEW COVENANT.

IF WE ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD WE WOULD BE KEEPING THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS; WHICH WOULD MEAN WE ARE NOT UNDER THE ETERNAL DAETH PENALTY OF THE LAW.

Gal 5:18 (KJV) But ^G1161if ^G1487YE BE LED ^G71OF THE SPIRIT, ^G4151ye are ^G2075NOT ^G3756UNDER ^G5259THE LAW. ^G3551 OTHER RELATED SCRIPTURES:

SIN IS DEFINED BY THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.

CONCLUSION:

THE TRUE FAITH OF GOD WHICH CAME WITH JESUS CHRIST GAL 3:25 WILL PROMOTE THE KEEPING OF THE LAW OF GOD – TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GOD INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH.

❖ WHEN CHRIST RETURN WILL HE FIND THE FAITH OF GOD ON THE EARTH?

JESUS COMMANDED HIS DISCIPLES TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD IN MAR 11:22.

JESUS ALSO ASKED THE QUESTION; WHEN HE RETURNS IF HE WILL FIND THE FAITH OF GOD ON THE EARTH?

Mar 11:22 (KJV) And ^G2532Jesus ^G2424answering ^G611saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846HAVE ^G2192FAITH ^G4102IN GOD. ^G2316

JESUS CHRIST QUESTIONED WHETHER HE WOULD FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH WHEN HE RETURN ON HIS SECOND COMING.

JESUS CHRIST IS LOOKING FOR THE FAITH OF GOD IN US WHEN HE RETURNS TO THE EARTH.

IN THE BOOK OF LUKE 18:1-8, WE SEE JESUS TEACHING HIS DISCIPLES PERSISTENT IN PRAY – THAT WE SHOULD ALWAYS PRAY AND NEVER GIVE UP. PRAY DEMONSTRATES OUR PERSISTENT FAITH IN GOD AND JESUS CHRIST. WHEN JESUS CHRIST RETURNS HE WILL BE LOOKING FOR THE FAITH OF GOD IN THOSE WHO FOLLOW HIM. Luke 18:8 (KJV) I tell ^G3004you ^G5213that ^G3754he will ^G4160 avenge ^G1557them ^G846speedily. ^G5034^G1722NEVERTHELESS ^G4133

ARE WE FIGHTING TO KEEP THE FAITH OF GOD WHICH WAS DELIVERED BY JESUS CHRIST?

OUR GREATEST STRUGGLE IS TO OVERCOME UNGODLY FEAR AND HAVE THE FAITH OF GOD BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH

WE ARE IN A WAR FOR HOLDING ON TO THE FAITH OF GOD DELIVERED THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

WE HAVE TO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH. AS DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST WE ARE IN A BATTLE FOR OUR FAITH IN GOD. OUR FAITH IN GOD MUST NOT FAIL.

❖ WHY WERE THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST PERSECUTED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT UNDER THE NEW COVENANT FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST?

AS DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST WE WILL BE PERSECUTION FOR PROMOTING THE FAITH OF GOD WHICH CAME WITH JESUS CHRIST AND NOT THE OLD COVENANT LAW OF MOSES. THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST KEPT THE LAW OF GOD – THE TEN COMMNANDMENTS INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH AND WAS PROMOTING THE FAITH OF GOD IN CHRIST AND NOT THE LAW OF MOSES.

THE APOSTLES WERE PERSECUTED BY THE JEWS – THE PHARISEES; SCRIBES; HIGH PRIEST; ELDERS; SADUCCEES BECAUSE THEY WERE PROMOTING THE FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST AND NOT THE LAW OF MOSES.

Acts 5:34-42 (KJV) 34 Then ^G1161stood there up ^G450one ^G5100 in ^G1722the council, ^G4892a Pharisee, ^G5330named ^G3686 Gamaliel, ^G1059A DOCTOR OF THE LAW,^G3547had in reputation ^G5093among all ^G3956the people, ^G2992and commanded ^G2753to put ^G4160the apostles ^G652forth ^G1854a^G5100 little space; ^G1024

Acts 5:35 (KJV) 35 And ^G5037said ^G2036unto ^G4314them, ^G846Ye men ^G435of Israel, ^G2475take heed ^G4337to yourselves ^G1438 what ^G5101ye intend ^G3195to do ^G4238as touching ^G1909these ^G5125 men. ^G444

SHOULD ^{G2980 G0}NOT ^G3361SPEAK ^G2980IN ^G1909THE NAME ^G3686 OF JESUS, ^G2424and ^G2532let ^G630^G0them ^G846go. ^G630 Acts 5:41 (KJV) 41 And ^G3767they departed ^G4198^G3303from ^G575the presence ^G4383of the council, ^G4892REJOICING ^G5463THAT ^G3754 THEY WERE COUNTED WORTHY ^G2661TO SUFFER SHAME ^G818 FOR ^G5228HIS ^G846NAME. ^G3686

THE APOSTLES DAILY MESSAGE WAS THE MESSAGE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. Acts 5:42 (KJV) 42 And ^G5037daily ^G2250^G3956in ^G1722the temple, ^G2411and ^G2532in every ^G2596house, ^G3624they ceased ^G3973 not ^G3756TO TEACH ^G1321and ^G2532PREACH ^G2097JESUS ^G2424 CHRIST. ^G5547

THE APOSTLES WERE PROMOTING THE FAITH OF GOD IN JESUS CHRIST USING THE LAW OF MOSES AND THE PROPHETS.

EXAMPLE OF STEPHEN BEING PERSECUTED FOR PROMOTING THE FAITH OF GOD IN JESUS CHRIST CONTRARY TO THE LAW OF MOSES.

Acts 6:8-13 (KJV) 8 And ^G1161Stephen, ^G4736FULL ^G4134OF FAITH ^G4102and ^G2532power, ^G1411did ^G4160great ^G3173wonders ^G5059 and ^G2532miracles ^G4592among ^G1722the people. ^G2992 Acts 6:9 (KJV) 9 Then ^G1161there arose ^G450certain ^G5100of ^G1537 the synagogue, ^G4864which ^G3588is called ^G3004the synagogue of the Libertines, ^G3032and ^G2532Cyrenians, ^G2956and ^G2532 Alexandrians, ^G221and ^G2532of them of ^G575Cilicia ^G2791and ^G2532of Asia, ^G773disputing ^G4802with Stephen. ^G4736

The Doctrine of Faith toward God -11-Jun-13 Page 68

WHY DID PERSECUTION COME AGAINST STEPHEN? STEPHEN WAS ACCUSED OF SPEAKING BLASPHEMEOUS WORDS AGAINST THE LAW OF MOSES AND AGAINST GOD BY THOSE WHO WERE PROMOTING ADHERENCE TO THE LAW OF MOSES.

Acts 6:11 (KJV) 11 Then ^G5119they suborned ^G5260men, ^G435which said, ^G3004^G3754WE HAVE HEARD ^G191HIM ^G846SPEAK ^G2980 BLASPHEMOUS ^G989WORDS ^G4487AGAINST ^G1519MOSES,^G3475 and ^G2532against God. ^G2316

Acts 6:12 (KJV) 12 And ^G5037they stirred up ^G4787the people, ^G2992 and ^G2532THE ELDERS, ^G4245and ^G2532THE SCRIBES, ^G1122 and ^G2532came upon ^G2186him, and caught ^G4884him, ^G846and ^G2532 brought ^G71him to ^G1519the council, ^G4892
