"Faith," A Finished Work, In Process

The Holy Ghost has been labouring intently, in our midst, earnestly contending for the “faith” which has been deposited in us.

[Jude 1:3]

“Faith” is so central to our being joined to His covenant Life that He declared; through His servant David: “The Lord will perfect that which concerneth (us):” and David concluded “Thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever.” Amen?

[Ps 138:8] 

The Lord; who is “the author and finisher of (our) faith,” was so determined to deliver us from our self destructive darkness that He “swore, by an oath” (to Himself) to make Jesus the guarantor of “a better testament.”

[Heb 12:2; 6:13; 7:22] 

From the day of our creation (at the beginning), to the day of our redemption/salvation (at the end), “faith” is “working IN us” to separate/sanctify us from the bondage of the law ...for the “letter (of the law) killeth, but the Spirit (of Christ) gives life.”

[Phil 2:13; 2 Cor 3:6]

It is written: “He which hath begun a good work IN you will perform (process) it until the day of Jesus Christ:” So, let us prayerfully purpose to rest IN Him; as He works IN us (thru process, by “faith”) that which is pleasing in His sight.

[Phil 1:6]

ThenSingsMySoul:

 (WE) HAVE COME THIS FAR “BY FAITH,”

LEANING ON THE LORD;

TRUSTING IN HIS HOLY WORD,

HE'S NEVER FAILED (US) YET.
