Acts 24:24. “And After certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.” THE FAITH IN CHRIST. It has a solid basis, this body of truth we teach Concerning the Messiah from heaven who was sent. Scriptures at the beginning told of the devil who would reach To mankind by quoting God, but bending what He meant.
From Genesis to Revelation, “faith in Christ” is the key, To understanding the reason sacrifices were made. Substitution was the plan when a perfect lamb you see Takes the sinner’s place when his hand was placed upon its head.
“The faith in Christ” includes that He became a man, Though never ceasing to be the Son of God. As man He came to die, for that was God’s own plan, We must believe and trust Him as our Savior and Lord.
The Christ who died for us, rose the third day from the dead, Receiving all who come to God through Him. Now as members of His body – He only is the Head, They wait His return to take with Him every one of them.
“The faith in Christ” unfolds knowledge of the future, Because He lives, we all shall rise again. A resurrection awaits, a change’d body and nature, We only know a little of what happens then.
The Church which is His Bride, will be ever at His side, Meaningful labor will be placed into our hands. Where He lives, there we will be, ever to abide, And yet fully involved in carrying out His plans.
“The faith in Christ” to me, means I will always be, A part of what God has and is forever doing. As limited as I am, I am privileged even now to see, Some results and changes made in many human beings.
That brings glory and honor to Christ even here and now, What a great joy it will be when His plans are all complete. I will marvel at my little part; for sure I will wonder how, I can glorify Him by remembering Calvary’s mercy seat.
“I thank Thee, O God, for revealing the faith in Christ to me in this day of grace and blessing. I rejoice in Christ; I am blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ; I find faith in Christ most reasonable – and I worship Thee this morning because of such a Savior who came into the world to save sinners. In His name, Amen.”
