Isaiah 7: 9b
If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
If you don't believe, you won't receive.
Yesterday we looked at the statement of faith for Living Faith Cristian Church. Before I joined the Church, I read it to see if I was in agreement with what this Church believed. The creed of a Church must conform to the Word of GOD for it to be fundamentally Christian. Every "We believe" statement is followed by the Scripture that supports that statement. I found that I could say "yes" to every one of the 11 statements of faith.
The fundamental belief that brings stability and answered prayer is, "JESUS Christ is LORD", by Him, in Him, through Him all things exist in heaven and in the earth. Unto Him be all glory, honor and praise forever more. By the Blood of JESUS we are reconciled to GOD and healed. Through His Name we receive what we ask of the Father. At the Name of JESUS every knee shall bow in heaven and on the earth, and every tongue confess that JESUS Christ is LORD, to the glory of GOD the Father.
We first must believe that JESUS is GOD and then faith begins to grow. Belief comes first then faith, which is a gift from GOD to us who believe. The statement can be changed: "If you believe, you will receive" all the promises of GOD are yours. The question now remains,
DO YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS?
