Human Faith vs. God’s Faith
Have you tried to do something through human effort? Trying to make your mind push you forward over whatever hurdle or obstacle you were facing?
We live in a world that wants you to tap into your feelings. Advertisers market to emotions. Even church services try to make you “feel good” and then send you on your way.
While our feelings are real, we can’t always trust them. We will not get spiritual results with natural human faith. We need to believe God’s Word over how we feel. When our faith is based on the Word of God we will not be moved by our circumstances – what we see and feel in the natural.
Paul says in Ephesians 2:8 – “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”
We must put faith in God’s grace, but the faith that we use isn’t our own human faith.
There is a human faith that is inherent within every human being, and there is a supernatural faith of God that only comes to those who receive the Gospel.
Human faith can only believe what it can see, taste, hear, smell, or feel; it’s limited to the five senses. Using natural human faith, we can have faith in natural things even if we don’t fully understand how they work, like flying in an airplane – we trust everything will be ok. God gave human faith to every person.
We need supernatural faith to receive salvation. We must believe in God, whom we have not seen, and believe that our sins are forgiven, which we cannot prove by natural means. It takes God’s supernatural faith to receive salvation. Where do we get it from? We receive it from God’s Word.
Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” We access God’s faith through His Word.
When we hear God’s Word, the Holy Spirit empowers it, and if we receive the truth, God’s supernatural faith enters us.
We have the same quantity and quality of faith that Jesus has; therefore, we can do the same works that Jesus did, if we receive this truth and begin to use what we have John 14:12.
We pray that you BELIEVE and acknowledge that you already have the same faith as God and it works in and through you.
Philemon 1:6 says, “that the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.”
