It is written: “As the rain ..and the snow from heaven cometh down, (and) watereth the earth ...that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void (without fruit), but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
[Isa 58:10-11]
Such is the “ministry of faith.” It is a perfect work, wrought by the Son (God's word). Consider: “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me (out of His mouth), and ...finish His work...” and: “I have glorified Thee on earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do.” [Jn 4:34; Jn 17:4]
Jesus also said, to the Father: “I have given unto them the words which Thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have (realized) surely that I came out from Thee, and ...that Thou didst send Me” [Jn 17:8]
Are you beginning to see the bigger picture of how salvation comes (or, is ministered) by the “hearing” of the sent “word” of faith?
[Rom 10:8-9; 17]
“For whosoever shall call upon (Jesus) the name of the Lord (in faith) shall be saved”
[Rom 10:13]
ThenSingsMySoul:
MY FAITH HAS FOUND A RESTING PLACE,
NOT IN DEVICE OR CREED;
I TRUST THE EVER LIVING ONE,
HIS WOUNDS FOR ME SHALL PLEAD.
I NEED NO OTHER ARGUMENT, I NEED NO OTHER PLEA;
IT IS ENOUGH THAT JESUS DIED, AND THAT HE DIED FOR ME.
