Faith 06 LIKE PRECIOUS FAITH

Heb 11: And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, 40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us. What then is the purpose of faith if they died without seeing the fulfillment?

2 Peter 1:1 1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ The faith we have obtained is the same for all believers; Christ’s own faith, and it’s by His righteousness.

Hebrews 12:2 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Jesus hasn’t authored (created) different types of faith for different believers. It’s the same; His own faith.

Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. Our salvation is by grace through faith. Even that faith is not our own, it’s His. For we were sinners without strength, without faith when He saved us.

Galatians 2:20 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. KJV Our life in Christ is dependant on His own faith, which He has given to us.

James 2:1 2 My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. Rev 14:12 12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

Romans 12:3 3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. KJV God has not given out faith in different measures, it’s the same measure; same quality and quantity in our spirit.

Rom 2:11 11 For there is no partiality with God. Eph 6:9 9 And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

1 John 4:17 17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. If we are as He is, it means we bear the same qualities (in our spirit) including the same quality of faith; His faith.

John 1:16 16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. 1 Cor 6:17 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

John 14:12 12 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. You can’t give people different tools and expect the same results! We can only match His performance if we have His faith.

Philemon 6 6 that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. We all have the faith of Jesus, we don’t need to receive more of it. It becomes effective when we acknowledge it, learn more about it and put it to use.

IN SUMMARY 1. The faith we have is NOT our own, it’s the supernatural faith of Christ. 2. The faith we have is the same faith of the apostles and all the believers. 3. We have the same faith but different callings, so it’s expressed differently. 4. We have to start acknowledging that we have His faith and then use it.
