THE VICTORY OF FAITHSunday 13 November, 2016

We are on a journey to heaven…

Matthew 7:21

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

1John 2:15

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1 John 5:4

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Three Points …

•Experience of Faith;

•Expression of Faith;

•Exploits of Faith.

1.Experience Of Faith

1 John 5:5

“Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”

Romans 10:9

“…that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

John 3:3

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

2.Expression Of Faith

Hebrews 11:8

“By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.”

Colossians 3:5-10

“Mortifytherefore your members which are upon the earth; … seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; and have put on the new man, …”

Philippians 4:8

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, … whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

3.Exploits Of Faith

Genesis 12:1-4

“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country … So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him;”

Genesis 39:8-9

“… neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”

Hebrews 11:36-37

“ …and others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, …”

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation,it was needful for me to write unto you, and

exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which

was once delivered unto the saints.

Jude 1:3

Amen.
