HAVING FAITH IN GOD

(All scriptures found in King James Version)

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
(Hebrews 11:1)
  
FAITH  comes from the Greek word pis’-tis meaning persuasion, truthfulness of God, reliance upon Christ for salvation, constancy in such profession, assurance, belief, believe, faith, fidelity.
FAITH in the dictionary is "confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another's ability;  belief that is not based on proof".  

 In Scripture, faith is God's warranty certifying that the revelation He inbirthed will come to pass (His way).  We must have confidence that what God has said will manifest (Isaiah 55:11) "So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

We must know that God is a faithful God, and whatever God has promised to bring in your life, it will be manifested in your life so we must hold on to that promise.

It's Payback Time!!!!

RUTH 2:12 (kjv)

“The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.”

God spoke to Greater Works Ministry with a word - “The Year of The Redeemed”.  He said to give Him thanks "for He is good; for His Mercy endureth forever (meaning continues).  Let the Redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hands of the enemy." (Psalms 107:1-2)

The book of Ruth depicts Jesus Christ as “The Kinsman Redeemer”. The words "kinsman" and "redeemer" come from the same Hebrew meaning of “redeem” according to the law of kinship, as in the next of kin and as such to buy back a relative’s property.  It also means ransom, to release, rescued.

      Ransom- the price paid or demanded before a captive is set free.

      Redeem- to buy back; to pay off, to make up for; set free or deliverance

      Release- to relieve from obligation or debt; to let go

      Rescue- to free from confinement or danger; save

Jesus Christ performed (meaning carried out; fulfilled) for us upon the Cross of Calvary - the only kind of a person who could be a redeemer - for He is the God-man who alone can bring God and man together in perfect harmony. The redeemer must be both God and man to be a mediator who can bridge the gulf by dying like a man and rising from the dead as The Eternal God. (WHEW!!!)
