Believe in our great, almighty God.

 


Our God gave life to Jesus after he died on the cross. Our God called everything that exists out of nothing. We agree with Rom 4: 21 that we are “being fully persuaded that God has power to do what he had promised.”

 

According to Rom 4: 17 he is “the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not, as though they were.”

Faith in a great, almighty God accomplishes several important things for the Christian believer:

 

1. Faith teaches us. It grows us toward maturity. It builds us up and makes us stronger. As we exercise our faith, our faith grows.

 

2. Faith exalts God. It glorifies his greatness. By trusting in God, we are visibly expressing our confidence in his great, almighty majesty.

 

3. Faith grasps the truth of God's word. Trusting in God brings us to the point where we are enlightened and fully persuaded of the Gospel truth in the Bible.

 

4. Faith enables us. It gives us possession of God’s promises. Faith expects from our God everything that Jesus died for. He was raised from the dead to give all we need, to God’s children!

 

I know that the greatness and power of our God fully and completely compensates for my weakness. Because of the Lord, even my little faith will grow, will glorify God, will grasp God’s promises, and will enable me to own his assurance of my salvation!

 

Bless our great, almighty God for granting life-giving faith to me and you.

Thanks be to God who called faith into our empty lives that we may be filled with the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer!

Hallelujah!
