The God Factor

There have been times that we as Christians completely forget or ignore the power of our identity as a new creation. The bible says in 2 cor 5:17 17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” New Living Translation. Now that newness of life transcends the physical. I have often heard a lot of converts testify and says things like “Hey praise God! You know what; I used to be an addict but all that is history now. Oh I’ve killed a lot of people but today I preach the gospel” Well, yes that’s good…I mean that’s really good. After all, Jesus never came for the righteous; he came for the unsaved and there’s joy in heaven over on single soul that comes out of the darkness into God’s marvelous light. As true as that is…people of God; there is MORE! God isn’t merely contented with your salvation No! Your salvation is only the beginning. Your new identity offers far more than a mental or physical transformation.

What Does it Mean to Have Faith?

Faith is mentioned in the bible over 422 times, Faith defined is trust or confidence in a person or thing. The Christian theology version describes faith as trust in God and his promises as made by Christ and the Scriptures through which we are justified and saved. The opposite of faith is doubt, distrust, disbelief, and rejection. We all must have some form of faith as we face the world each day, for example we have faith in little things like our car will get us to work, or that we will receive our paycheck at the end of the week. Unfortunately some put to much confidence in a person or things that demonstrate to be unfaithful like the stock market, housing industry, careers, marriages and other “things”. Obviously we live in a fallen world and have little control over others. Is there really anything truly worthy of our faith?
