Sunday 07/09/2025 - The Fundamentals of the gospel - part 1 : Faith
Isaiah 1:19 NKJV
“If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;”
Prayer: Dear God, today I choose to be willing and obedient to your word in Jesus name, Amen .
These are first principles / basics. In any field, fundamentals ( building blocks) are necessary to set the foundation of concepts to be used.
Gospel - teaching or revelation of Christ
Romans 10:8-10 NKJV
[8] “But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): [9] that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Our lack of faith surprises Jesus Christ
Mark 4:39-41 NKJV
[39]“Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. [40] But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” [41] And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!””
Power of faith
Hebrews 11:1-3 NKJV
[1] “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [2] For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. [3] By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.”
Danger of not having faith in a believers life
[6] “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
