FAITH CAPSULE: Get to know God, fear Him, and live free.
John 14
Get to know God, fear Him, and live free.
With faith will fear God, live in truth, and be free to live life for the glory of God.
The word of God is the source of God and documents every reason to know God with fear.
God is an awesome God to love for His goodness and mercy.
Get to know God, fear Him, and live free.
The word of God is God.
John 1:1 testifies, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
Many claims to know about the word of God, quote the word of God, or sing the word of God but lack freedom.
The word of Jesus to the Jews that believed in His time also speaks to acclaim believers of today, “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32)
Are you an acclaimed believer that is not free because of the lack of truth?
Do you know God or know about God?
One that quotes or sings the word of God with no character in the way of life is evidence of knowing about God but not knowing God.
TRUTH.
Jesus is the truth of God. John 14:6 testifies, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Know the truth, the word of God, to be free in this wicked world.
Knowing the truth is evidence of having faith.
Do you have faith?
Have faith to become faithful as one rooted in knowing the word of God.
The source of having faith is hearing and hearing the Word of God.
One with a desire to live life by the word of God must be in a position to seek God in His word.
Romans 10:17 declares, “…faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” To be hearing and hearing the word of God is the coming of faith, but when there is no hearing, hearing faith will depart from one.
Continually, are you hearing the word of God to know God and be faithful?
DESCRIBING FAITH
The source of faith is the living word of God.
Faith is the living power that produces a living proof in the life of one that is faithful.
Faith is a spiritual power but not a philosophy or ideology.
Jesus said, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63)
Have faith by giving yourself to the word of God, fear God, and be free in this wicked world.
Prayer for today: Ask that to be giving self to His word.
