What Kind
of Faith Do You Have?
-- Randy Kea
We hear a lot today about the
importance of faith. The Bible clearly teaches the essentiality of
faith in God (Hebrews 11:6), Christ (John
8:21-24) and the gospel (Mark
16: 15-16). The question
is not "Is faith essential?" but
"What kind of faith saves and blesses man?" The Bible
teaches the
following about faith:
1. We are "saved" by faith
(Ephesians 2:8-10; Romans 5:1-2).
2. We "stand" by faith (II
Corinthians 1:24).
3. We "walk" by faith (II
Corinthians 5:7).
4. We "overcome" by faith
(I John 5:4).
5. Our obedience to God should be
based on faith (Hebrews 11:8).In this last verse referred to
above, Hebrews 11:8, the Hebrew writer identifies Abraham as a man of
faith. 'n fact, the entire chapter of Hebrews 11 is referred to as
the "faith chapter" by Bible students.
Notice the
repetition of the phrase "by faith" (verse 2, 4, 5, 7, 9,
17, 20, 21, 22, 23, etc.). In each example cited by the writer, the
person under consideration first had to obey before the blessings of
God were bestowed. Three times in James chapter 2, James says that
faith without works is dead (James 2:17; 20 and 26). The word "works"
in James 2 does not refer to meritorious works or works of the Old
Testament law which are
excluded by New Testament law which are excluded by New Testament
writers (Romans 3:28; Titus 3:5). Here
Paul on the kind of faith that pleases God and blesses man: "For
in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor
uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love" (Galatians
5:6).Did Abraham have faith? Yes. Romans
4:3 says "Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for
righteousness." What kind of faith did Abraham have? Answer: "By
faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place
which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed"
(Hebrews 11:8). The faith of Abraham was an obedient faith. This is
the only kind of faith God has ever accepted (Romans 1:5; John 14:
15; John 14:21; Hebrews 5:9; Revelation 22: 14; James 1:22-25;
Luke 6:46; Matthew 7:21-27).
