Gods Word Alone! Do You really know and believe that you can take God at His Word? You Can Know And Believe That God’s Love Is For YOU! Someone asked me one time, what is the difference between intellectual Faith and SAVING FAITH. I gave him an answer that I have heard a lot of times......about 18 inches....the distance from Head to Heart. But actually it goes a lot deeper than that. Intellectual faith, is knowing what the Bible says, but not DEPENDING ON WHAT IT SAYS, FOR YOUR ETERNAL SALVATION. You may know that God cares for you and loves you, and that He demonstrated His love for you by dying on the cross for you, but do you REALLY BELIEVE AND DEPEND ON IT, FOR YOUR SALVATION? It is one thing to know about the love that God has for you, but another thing to actually believe it in your heart and to Totally Depend on that FAITH ALONE, for your eternal destiny. Just as it is one thing to know that the sun shines each day. Even though some days we cant see it, however we can believe that the sun is shining even though we don’t feel its warmth and all we see are dark clouds. Sometimes it is hard to believe in Gods love for us, when we are going through tough times or long periods of sickness, lack of finances, attacks by others, even our Brothers and Sisters in Christ. But God wants you to Know and Believe, and have Faith in Him, depending upon Him by Faith alone, not by what you can do, what you feel, think or even by what you see. 2 Corinthians 5:1-9 For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down,(our earthly body) we have a building from God, a house (a Heavenly Body) not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For indeed in this (earthly body) house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling (Heavenly Body) from heaven, 3 inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked. 4 For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the (Holy) Spirit as a pledge (of His Word). 6 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord - 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight - 8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. 9 Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.(by Faith in His Word) Gods Love for you does not change, He loves you in the midst of all of your problems and He loves you in the middle of all of your good times, and He loves you each day, all day long and through the night time too.....No matter what is going on in your life, Gods Love for you remains constant. Never wavering! Romans 5:8-11 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified (saved) by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.(as Born Again Believers) 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled (given Peace and Restoration) to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.(as Born Again Believers) He wants you to Know and Believe by Faith alone, that He is on your side defending and taking care of you. And if God, the most powerful being in the universe, is for you, can anyone or anything come against you successfully? But what if you have messed up big time, perhaps getting upset with God and speaking out to Him, or doing something that you know He does not want you to do..in your anger or sorrow...? God wants you to know and believe that though others may be angry or upset with you, He never will be. And neither will He condemn you. The sum total of His anger against your sins fell upon Jesus when He was on the cross. So He wants you to know and believe that Jesus the Christ was punished for YOU. So when you feel unworthy because you have just blown it for the umpteenth time, know and believe, by Faith alone, not by anything you can do, by your feelings or by what is going on in this world... your heavenly Father still gives you the gift of no condemnation. So come boldly to His throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace. Hebrews 4:15-16 For we (as Born Again Believers) do not have a high priest (Jesus the Christ) who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. 2 Corinthians 5:20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God (by Faith Alone in what Jesus did for you, not by anything you did, can do or will do). 21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. So you see that even when we were sinners, Jesus the Christ loved us and died for us, when we were at our worst and ugliest, HOW MUCH MORE SECURE IN HIS LOVE FOR YOU, NOW THAT YOU ARE HIS BELOVED AS A BORN AGAIN BELIEVER AND YOU ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN JESUS THE CHRIST. **** 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, tells you the Pure Gospel of Grace, for your Salvation, by Faith alone in what Jesus has done**** https://youtube/watch?v=fuxlQJfwpRM
