5) In having faith and upholding the faith. Salvation is received by us by the grace of God through our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone. Rom 3 vs 20-31. Rom 1 vs 16-17. Eph 2 vs 1-10/John 5 vs 24/John 3 vs 18/ Acts 13 vs 39. Acts 4 vs 10-12/John 14 vs 6. The English word faith comes from a Greek word pronounced pis-tis. The word pis-tis is used 98% of the time in the bible, and is translated faith. This Greek word can mean different things, depending on the biblical context. The Greek word can mean believe, belief, acceptance, it can mean the truthfulness about God. Moral conviction of religious truth. Or it can mean fidelity/faithfulness or truth itself. When the recommended Authorized King James bible speaks of the faith of God, or the faith of Jesus, it is speaking of the faithfulness of God or the truth about God. It’s not speaking as we do, of God having to believe by faith the things not seen. Because God sees everything.
Romans 8 vs 29-30. The Almighty knows the future. Psalm 139 vs 4 He knows what we will say next.
Heb 11 vs 1-40 further explains what faith is, and how men and women of faith lived by faith in God. When Hebrews 11 vs 1-40 commends, many great men and women who lived by faith, Jesus isn’t mentioned.
Heb 11 vs 1 “Now faith is the substance or assurance of things hoped for”. To understand this Scripture we need to look at another verse using the same Greek word for hope. Romans 8 vs 18-25. Apostle Paul said to the Christians in Rom 8 vs 23-25. “Even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees ? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Hebrews 11 vs 1. Now faith is the substance/assurance of things hoped for”. Meaning, faith is the substance/assurance of things we do not see. Faith. Hebrews 11 vs 1 the rest of the verse goes on speaking of faith as “The evidence/conviction/proof of things not seen”. We have faith in God whom we haven’t seen.
Question 23. Do you agree with the whole of the above section ?
As part of your Christian fundamentalist course work, you will need to answer this question.



A) We didn't see the Lord Create the worlds. Romans 10 vs 17.“Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”. Our faith is based on personal revelation from God through us hearing the word of God, and in repentance believing the Holy Scriptures. Hearing the promises and warnings and prophesies of the word of God in the bible. Due to our faith in the eternal word of Almighty God the Lord Jesus Christ. We have assurance of the things hoped for. The things hoped for are the biblical promises given by the Lord to us believers. Due to our faith in Jesus Christ we have evidence conviction proof of thing not seen. Romans 14 v 23.“Whatever is not from faith is sin”. Whenever a Christian violates his conscience, doing something he doubts is morally right, he sins. As Christians we are to live lives of faith in Christ and His Word. Living by faith does not mean, not working for money, it means to trust Jesus whatever our circumstances. The whole teaching on faith in the bible, is about mankind having faith in God, and therefore faith in His word the Bible, and then just as importantly remaining in the faith which is the actual truth that Jesus is the author and finisher off. Mankind is to put his hope and faith in Jesus Christ as Lord. Jesus died for all our sins and arose from the dead. Romans 5 vs 5. “Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us”. The previous verse is speaking of us who are born again. Hebrews 11 vs 1-2. Now faith is the substance/assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (God sees everything. Psalm 139 vs 1-24.
Hebrews 11 vs 2. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God,
(Jesus is the word of God. John 1 vs 1-14) so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
(Jesus was there. He Created everything in Creation. Jesus causes us by His Holy Spirit to have faith in Father God who is unseen)
2 Cor 4 vs 18. Apostle Paul said. “While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal”. 2 Cor 5 vs 7. To the church. “We walk by faith, not by sight. (Jesus who was God had seen everything, Jesus had seen the Father. Jesus had been with the Father for all eternity. Hebrews 1 vs 1-3). Its us who walk by faith.
Question 24. Do you agree with the whole of the above section A ?
As part of your Christian fundamentalist course work, you will need to answer this question.



B) Jesus and His Heavenly Father are one. The Father the Son and the Holy Spirit are One God in three persons. All things Created were Created by Jesus the eternal word of God. Scripture does not say Jesus walked and lived by faith in God because Jesus was God. 1 Cor 12 vs 9. Faith is one of the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit given to Christians for specific tasks as the Holy Spirit Wills. Heb 2 vs 12-13 “I (Jesus) will put My trust in Him (Father God). This word trust comes from the Greek word peitho pronounced pi’-tho, and this does not mean faith, it means to rely on. The actual truth about things not seen gives us faith. When Christians believe that Jesus lived by faith and walked by faith and healed by faith they have overlook who He Is. Fully Man and Fully God. Col 1 vs 19/Col 1 vs 15-18.Proverbs 15 vs 28. Jesus is the perfect man who was God our Creator.
Question 25. Do you agree with the whole of the above section B ?
As part of your Christian fundamentalist course work, you will need to answer this question.



C) Jesus is the perfect example for us to follow, not because He was a man of faith, but because He was humble, and 100% obedient, to Father God, and because of who He eternally Is.
The perfect Son who was completely obedient .Our faith is in Jesus whom we haven’t yet seen. Those of us who have repented and given our lives to Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We are born again of the Spirit of God. The Spirit of Christ dwells within us as a guarantee of our eternal inheritance.
We by the grace of Almighty God have become Children of God. We know this by the Spirit He gave us. New life in Christ. Scriptures reveal. Jesus is the truth and He spoke the actual truth about Father God. Our faith comes by His word. Jesus knew the end from the beginning Jesus is the Alpha and Omega of Revelation 1 vs 8. Rev 22 vs 12-13. John 3 vs 31-36. Says “He (Jesus) who comes from heaven is above all, and what He has seen and heard that He testifies. Vs 34 says. “For He (Jesus) whom (Father) God has sent speaks the words of (Father God”. John 5 vs 20 says. “The Father loves the Son (Jesus) and shows Him all things that He Himself does”.
John 8 vs 23 Jesus said. “ You are from beneath and I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world”.
John 6 vs 47 Jesus speaking of Himself. “Not that anyone has seen the Father except He who is from God; He has seen the Father”.
John 12 vs 45 Jesus said. “He who sees me, sees Him who sent me”. John 12 vs 49-50. John 7 vs 16. Luke 5 vs 22. John 4 vs 39.
Isaiah 14 vs 24. Luke 4 vs 1 Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit and led by the Spirit.
Question 26. Do you agree with the whole of the above section C ?
As part of your Christian fundamentalist course work, you will need to answer this question.



D) Act 10 vs 38. Jesus signs and wonders were Holy Spirit Power not a demonstration of His faith but who He was. Matthew 12 vs 28. Colossians 2 vs 9 “For in Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily”. Jesus in perfect obedience did as He saw His Heavenly Father do.
Question 27. Do you agree with the whole of the above section D ?
As part of your Christian fundamentalist course work, you will need to answer this question.



E) In the King James Bible. Romans 3 vs 3 says “For what if some did not believe ? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect ? Here the word faith from the Greek means fidelity or truth. Fidelity means faithfulness and that’s why the New King James translates this as “the faithfulness of God. The bible teaches that a person is saved by their faith in Jesus Christ and that they are to remain in the faith.
Revelation 14 vs 12. “Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus”.
Here the word faith from the Greek means fidelity or truth itself. John 5 vs 19-24. Jesus says “Most assuredly the Son can do nothing of Himself but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. Hebrews 12 vs 2 “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith”. With child like faith. Simply believe in Jesus Christ. Be faithful. Remain in the faith.
Meaning live in Jesus, and live out the truth of what He taught.
