Welcome to Word of Life Study Series- Faith that moves mountains! This is the first episode of a new season that specializes on the subject of Bible faith. Through faith God created the universe by His spoken Word and through faith in Jesus Christ we are born again into God’s Kingdom and receive the gift of eternal life. So yes, Bible faith is really important for us to know as God’s children. Because of its vital importance to God’s people, the enemy has attempted to discredit, distort and basically turn people off on this vital subject. God’s Word is the most powerful force in the universe. This truth is serves as the foundation of our faith in God.
1. The Word of His Grace
Bible Definition of Grace- The power of God at work in us who believe; to do in and for us what we are unable to accomplish ourselves- the power and ability of God! The Grace of God is released in our lives through our faith in God’s Word. The Lord works in our lives by His Grace, but it also requires our cooperation and faith for it to have its way in us. Grace is also God’s provision for us concerning salvation, and all things that pertain to life and godliness. Every need, spirit, soul and body has been so abundantly provided for us by God through the redemptive work of His Grace that was accomplished on our behalf by Jesus Christ.
2. The Truth and the Anointing
I have had other believers ask me, “What is the anointing?” For Christians the term implies the supernatural presence of God, manifesting His power and ability, yet some are still confused, “but is the anointing a thing or a person?” We are not talking about “Star Wars” and “using the force,” as some mystical essence or an impersonal cosmic power. The anointing is a person, the precious Holy Spirit. Remember what Jesus said in John 6:63, “The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.” The Word of God is anointed by the Holy Spirit, smeared with His presence and full of power. “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes” according to Romans 1:16.
