Receive God's Faith

Understand the nature of genuine faith. It is a gift from God. Faith is one of the three abiding gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 13:13). It does no good to pretend that you have faith. Genuine faith is a gift of God's grace. Receive God's gift of faith.

How do you receive faith? It comes from the word of God through the Son of God, as a gift of the Spirit of God. Faith is based upon the truth and promises of God's word in the Bible. Look to Jesus for the faith you need. Believe that the Holy Spirit is able to give you faith.

Do you wrestle with doubts? Is it hard to say that you really have genuine faith? Give up your struggle. Look to Jesus through His Word. Admit your inability and ask for God's grace to believe. When the faith of God enlightens your heart, the darkness of doubt and unbelief is dismissed. If you can believe, give God the glory for His grace to receive.

"So then faith comes by hearing, 
and hearing by the word of God." 
Romans 10:17 

"Looking unto Jesus, 
the author and finisher of our faith." 
Hebrews 12:2
