According to Scripture
Sponsored bv Pembroke Seventh Dav Adventist Church
Faiih and Grace continued We c
have seen that faith is not mcrel\ a f
passive acceptance, not just a mental
assent to receive God's grace for our 1
sins that are past Romans3;25 Faith 1
plays an active part in a lifcchanging 1
response to what Jesus has done for !
us and more than that, it also appro- '
priates the promises of God in the 1
Bible to give us the strength to cease
from sin This comes as a result of
our acceptance of the grace
(unmerited forgiveness of God) that
God desires to give to each one that
desires Jesus to be their personal
Savior.
As a faith response to this grace,
we begin to seek our and obey His
will in our lives This obedience
comes only through becoming a partaker
of the divine nature 11 Peter
1"4. This is accomplished by allowing
the Holy Spirit to enter our heart
(mind) for indeed vvc arc to become
a temple for the Holy Spirit 1
Corinthians 3 16. Then as vvc learn
of Jesus' will and sec His promises i n
the Bible, we can by faith believe
that w hat He has promised He is able
to perform in our 1 ivcs Romans 4 21
Read Matthew 25 31-46 We see
in these verses-thai there-arc l\vo
groups of people, the righteous hav c
done many things that God has desired
them to do. the wicked have
not. In light of this text, let's examine
Matthew 7:13-28 Wc sec thai the
w ay that leads to eternal lie is narrow
and that few find it. Inverse 21 it says
that not everyone who says Lord
Lord shall enter into heaven And
further that those who do make it
will have the fruit of faith (works of
kindness and obedience ) There will
those who proclaim that they know
God and that they have fed the hungry
. Clothed the naked, etc. but God
says to them: "Depart from mcyc that
work iniquity." One can see the portrayal
between the two groups in
Matthew 25. One group docs what
God asks while the other group docs
not. In Matthew7oncanscca further
distinction between those w ho both
are doing wonderful works (at least
to the outside observer), but Jesus
says that there arc those who claim
Him as their Lord, doing many wonderful
works, but he says to them
"depart ye that work iniquity. What
I is the difrcrence here? While the fruit
or faith may be there, it matters nothing
iflhc proper motive is not present
This motive is love because it matter
not if we feed the hungry , clothe the
naked, even keep thccommandmcnts
tc if we arc noi motivated b> love
or God and our fellow man
1 Corinthians 13 1-13 Salvation
s b> the grace of God through faith
Romans 5 2 This grace is a free gift
ephesians 2 8 T his faith, though
small at first will grow in our hearts
itid produce fruits of obedience Romans
16 26 Thisobcdicncc will have
the proper nioliveofloveforGodand
man 1 Corinthians 13 Onccanhavc
a very small amount of faith vei cull
receive the grace of God for the remission
of sins that arc pari Romans
3 25 But God expects us to grow in
faith and knowledge and to search
out His will in the Bible Then by the
strength that we receive from Him
and our effort trough faith, we can
claim the promises of God 1
Corinthians 10 13 There arc some
who claim that there is no elTorl on
our part in salv alion They are wrong
One has to have earnest remorse for
theirsins 11 Corinthians7:9-10 One
has to struggle against temptation 1
Thcssalonians 3:5 Hebrews 11 37.
James I 12. II Peers 29. Revelation
3.10 One should not be overcome
with evil but should overcome evil
with the strength of God Romans
12:21. 11 Peters 2:19-20. I John 4:4
and 1 John 5:4. Revelation 3:5-12.
21. Revelation 13:7, Revelation 21:7.
Let's compare temptation toa huge
boulder that we can not even move a
fraction ofan inch. It is immovable in
our strength. Yet when we put forth
a struggle against it. even though our
faith maybe as small as a mustard
seed, but using our faith we lay hold
of the power of Jesus through the
Holy Spirit Our effort rests in Jesus'
promises in the Bible 11 Corinthians
7 :1 and aswesay our weak and small
feeble no to the temptations of Satan,
we connect to the throne of grace and
power above Ephesians 3:20/ Jesus
sends us the strength to resist and
overcome James 4 7.1 Peter 5:8-10.
Psalms IX 30-32 We as mere mortal
humanity arc not expected to overcome
inourow n strength But we arc
given a measure of faith Romans
