THE EFFECTIVE FAITH THAT WORKS: IT’S THE FAITH THAT SUBSTANTIATES IN HOPE!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED for, the evidence of things not seen”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 11:1.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The FAITH that works and\u00a0that’s\u00a0EFFECTUAL – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the FAITH that SUBSTANTIATES in HOPE. Hence COMMUNICATE your FAITH in HOPE.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Let us HOLD FAST the CONFESSION OF OUR HOPE without WAVERING, for He who promised is faithful”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 10:23\/NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. 10 For God is\u00a0not UNJUST\u00a0[UNRIGHTEOUS, UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] to forget your WORK and LABOR of LOVE which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the SAME DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE OF HOPE until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through FAITH and PATIENCE inherit the promises”\u00a0<\/i>Hebrews 6:9-12\/NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And by the PATIENCE of HOPE, you can keep FAITH thriving\u00a0in the midst of\u00a0all odds, as you LABOUR in LOVE to SERVE in GRACE.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, AND LABOUR OF LOVE, AND PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 FOR OUR GOSPEL CAME NOT UNTO YOU IN WORD ONLY, BUT ALSO IN POWER, AND IN THE HOLY GHOST, AND IN MUCH ASSURANCE; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake”<\/i>\u00a01 Thessalonians 1:2-5.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Therefore\u00a0being\u00a0JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . 5 and HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 5:1-5.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus”<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Philemon 4-6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Therefore it is of FAITH, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who\u00a0quickeneth\u00a0the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18 WHO AGAINST HOPE BELIEVED IN HOPE, THAT HE MIGHT BECOME THE FATHER OF MANY NATIONS; according to that which was spoken,\u00a0So\u00a0shall thy seed be. 19 AND\u00a0BEING\u00a0NOT WEAK IN FAITH, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara\u2019s womb: 20 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was STRONG IN FAITH, giving glory to God; 21 and\u00a0being\u00a0fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform . . .”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 4:16-25.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
