Jesus Is Our Faith

“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 is set down at the right hand of the Throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2

There is no greater Truth regarding our faith than this: true godly faith can only come from Jesus. Jesus endured the Cross and all of the pain and suffering that went along with it for the shear joy of being the only One Who could lead us into completely and totally trusting in God! Jesus begins our faith and He finishes our faith. Faith is not a human ability to accept and believe the things of God. Faith is God’s ability working through us, by the power of Christ, to accept and believe His eternal Truths! No one is greater at faith than Jesus and we have free access to Him, and Jesus will freely Author our faith and He will freely Finish our faith! Only with faith that has been Authored and Finished by Jesus can we accept and walk in the full power of what God has provided for us. Faith that comes from Jesus will never stumble at the promises of God and it will never hesitate or question the Truths of God. Only faith that is produced by Jesus is fully pleasing to God! “But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6 When we are empowered with the very Spirit of our Father that allows Jesus to Author and Finish our faith, then we too are fully pleasing to God, just as Jesus is fully pleasing to God! On our own and through our own efforts we have no ability to believe any Truth of God, only through the power of Christ can we walk in true faith, and then we have the ability to accept all of the Truth’s of God! This precious gift is unlimited and it is available for all who seek it; Jesus will Author and Finish faith for everyone who looks unto Him!
