Believe You Receive ―next to God, the one most important thing according to the Bible is faith. Why?... because there is only one thing standing between you and hell, and that is your faith. All theologians agree the Bible teaches that the only requirement of God to receive all of the promises and eternal life is faith. However, anyone who has read more than a page or two of the Bible knows that the faith God indicates and what most people today call faith are two very different things.
Believers in the Bible built arks, walked over the Red Sea, raised the dead, and called fire down from heaven. Even the original disciples of Jesus had so much difficulty learning faith, they came to Jesus and specifically requested that He teach them the secret of faith that opens the way into all of God’s blessings as well as the pearly gates of heaven. ~ “And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith” (Luke 17.5).
Jesus didn’t lay hands on their heads and pray to increase their faith, but He did begin to ‘teach’ the disciples the laws of faith. There was no greater teacher of faith than Christ Himself. The Apostle Paul as well boldly called himself a ‘teacher of faith.’1 The Bible says, “Whatever is not from faith is sin”2 and “without faith it is impossible to please God.”3
If you’re tired of playing religion and want to step into the reality of knowing God and the victory of the true Christian life, this message is for you.
