September Update

Hebrews 11:6 reminds us that “without faith it is impossible to please God.” 

Faith is the one thing that God looks for in us.  Jesus looked for faith in his disciples.  Often he chastised them for lack of faith.  Faith pleases God.

Are you a believer or a doubter?  If faith pleases God then doubt saddens him.  It seems to me that God doesn’t ask us for much – he gives much.  Grace is his responsibility – faith is ours. 

We are told by Peter to ‘grow in grace’. Can I suggest that it is impossible to grow in grace unless we grow in faith. Grace can only be accessed by faith.  Romans 5:2.

Grace is God giving – faith is us receiving.  By Faith we receive forgiveness, love, joy,

peace, eternal life, favour, help, strength, healing and prosperity which are what salvation is all about.  We please God when we receive from him.  So, believe and receive or doubt and go without.
