Faith is a self-forgetting thing. God manifest in the flesh died for human sin, and your only safety lies in faith in His Blood. Rotten in heart, unjust in business, untrue in life, that's what you are sinner. The man who delights in iniquity knows not Christ. Real faith in Jesus Christ is your greatest need. Jesus died for the guilt of men; I trust Him to save me. Every grace comes from faith in Jesus Christ. Sin brings disease, beggary, death and damnation. Christ brings healing, life, and wealth to your soul. Faith means trusting in Jesus Christ alone. Accept God's testimony in the Scriptures, and then trust Jesus with your soul - that is the whole of it. Simply and wholly hang upon the bare arm of God and trust to the merits of His Son. *John 9:39-41* *Matthew 11:25-27*
Childlike confidence in Jesus Christ. Trust God with your domestic cares, bodily pains, and daily trials; truly honor God in your daily life. Joy in God through Christ's Atonement. Trust God now to save your guilty soul by the atoning blood of Jesus, and all of your sins will be put away forever. You cannot be saved by works. Nothing you can do can ever deserve divine Mercy; salvation must be the Free Gift of God. *Galatians 2:16*
God will only give pardon to a sinner and peace to a troubled heart only on certain lines. Faith is the first thing - Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He is risen from the dead. Trust yourself heartily, wholly, once for all with Jesus Christ. He that believeth in Jesus that Everlasting Life. Unfeignedly repent of sin. Your mind must be totally changed about your sins. A hearty loathing, a giving up, and a forsaking of sin - that is Repentance. You and your sins must part. Please do right for Jesus' sake. Strive to give up every sin, turn from every false way. *Romans 3:25*
Faith in Jesus' blood. Christ Jesus is the sinner's only hope. Only trust Him and enjoy everlasting life. Guilty worthless sinners at the gates of hell, you have nothing to recommend you. You have no good works, simply trust the merits of Christ, and claim and accept the Atonement made by His bloody death and your soul shall be saved, your sins forgiven, your inward nature changed. Where there is physical life there is a heart beat and breath, where there is Faith in Jesus, there is witness and prayer. The main thing is to get simple faith in Christ alone. Pardon bought with God's blood, Atonement finished once for all. Hearty and practical obedience to God's will. Hearty Christian love for saints and sinners. Warm, hearty, intense supplication. Seek to have the imputed Righteousness of Christ by all means, but also seek to exhibit the infused righteousness which brings practical daily sanctification. Strength in helplessness, joy in submission, rest in resignation to His will, full surrender to God's way. Charitably caring for the helpless, and holy walking in public and private. *Philippians 3:9*
Patient under affliction, resigned to the will of the Lord, and ready to depart and be with Christ. The true meaning of Faith is confidence in, and reliance upon Jesus. Trust in the one glorious Person who alone can redeem sinners. Reliance upon the Crucified Savior is the way of salvation. Saving Faith is the gift of God. Draw near to God alone in private. When no eye sees, when no ear hears, seek the Lord. Delight to pray and praise. The neglect of private prayer will devour the strength of the Christian. Private fidelity and purity is vital. A ton of human wisdom is not worth an once of Scripture. Private prayer, thanksgiving, and praise in Jesus' name. Secret adoration of the Lord. The carnal mind longs to indulge privately in evil habits. Cast your guilty soul upon the eternal merit and the finished work of the Great Substitute. *Colossians 2:12*
Human nature wants to save itself. Just give up, and let Christ save you. Trust entirely to Him. Believe simply, rely implicitly, confide cheerfully. Lie back upon Christ - give up entirely to Him. Bring no good works, no efforts, no merits to Jesus by way of recommendation. Faith in the crucified Savior is the way to Heaven. Have done with your self-righteous doings. Come to Jesus by trusting Him. Have done with seeking to save yourself, and accept Jesus alone as your Redeemer. Faith believes what God has revealed in His words concerning Christ Jesus, and trusts in Christ as the divinely appointed Savior. Jesus is God's Son, God sent Him into the world to save sinners, He became the Substitute to divine justice for all sinners. I am clear before God all because of what Jesus has done for me. *Romans 3:22*
Believing in Jesus, trusting in His blood, that is the whole matter. Saving faith accepts the truth of God, and fixes itself on the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Reliance upon Jesus Himself. Slow down, think much of Jesus. True repentance, real faith, holy consecration, purity of life, chastity of love. Put your faith in Jesus, not in yourself. The only way to get a hold of Christ is Faith. Put now trust in Christ's Blood. *Galatians 3:26* Personal appropriation of the Savior by simple faith in His Precious Blood. Faith is to believe that Christ died for me and trusting His substitutionary death to save you from your sins. Faith is simply believing what God says and promises. Practical reliance upon the precious promises of God Almighty. Thus saith the Lord is the only warrant of Faith. Whosoever trusts to Christ is saved. Lean right on Christ with all your weight, lean hard, have no other confidence. Throw yourself on Jesus alone to hold you up. Rest both feet on Christ alone, that is Saving Faith. *Ephesians 2:8-9*
