Saving Faith

Posted on by asherdc89

“Faith without works is dead. “And works without faith is also dead. Works without faith only produces dead works. Works motivated by self righteousness and unbelief, when “our righteousness is nothing, but filthy rags.”

And the fact it’s by faith we are justified through Jesus Christ, and not of works, we can only then accept the free gift of God’s love by faith. For a gift is freely given, and can’t be worked for nor bought.

It’s then unbelief to believe it can be worked for. Doubting in His love to be given freely.

By faith we accept the righteousness of God. And receive the Holy Spirit to come and dwell within us.  To actively bear witness of the truth through faith in accordance to His word. “For faith comes by hearing, and hearing the word of God.” And “His word is truth.”

Thus, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit both works and wills us to act in faith. To fulfil God’s will and purpose as His word says.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
