Works in Those Who Believe

"For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the Word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed It, not as the Word of men, but as it is in truth, the Word of God, which also effectively works IN YOU WHO BELIEVE."

Faith Can Grow - Exceedingly!

3. We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other,

4. So that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure,

5. Which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer;

Faith is Substance & Evidence

Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen.

Not Mixed with Faith

For indeed the Gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the Word which they heard did not profit them, NOT BEING MIXED WITH FAITH in those who heard it.

Greater Works than Jesus

(12) Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these HE WILL DO because I go to My Father.

(13) And whatever you ask in My name, THAT I WILL DO that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

(14) If you ask anything in My name, I WILL DO IT

Ask What You Desire

If you abide in Me,
And My words abide in you,
You will ask what you desire,
And it shall be done for you.

By this My Father is glorified,
That you bear much fruit.
So, you will be My disciples.

Believe in Jesus or Die in Sin

“Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not BELIEVE that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

Be Strong & Very Courageous

"Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe TO DO according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; DO NOT TURN FROM IT to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.

This Book of the Law shall not depart from YOUR MOUTH, but YOU SHALL MEDITATE in it day and night, that you may observe TO DO according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Believe You Receive & You Will Have

20) Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

21) And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.”

22) So Jesus answered and said to them...”HAVE FAITH IN GOD.

23) For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

24) Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”

Jesus Marveled & Limited by Unbelief

1) Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him.

2) And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands!

3) Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him.

4) But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.”

5) Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

6) AND HE MARVELED because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.

Jesus Limited by Unbelief

But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.”

Now He could do no mighty work (dunamis) there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He marveled because of their unbelief.

Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.

ALL THINGS Are Possible (Dunamis)

Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, ALL THINGS > are possible (dunamis) to him who believes.”

Is the POWER on?

Unbelief Renders Powerless

14 And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying,
15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.
16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.”
17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.”
18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”
20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

Faith Comes by Hearing

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

By Faith Abraham Became God's Decree

As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”, in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.

Who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, SO THAT HE BECAME the father of many nations, ACCORDING TO WHAT WAS SPOKEN, “So shall your descendants be.”

And not being weak in faith, HE DID NOT CONSIDER HIS OWN BODY (VOX), already dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was STRENGTHENED IN FAITH, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who BELIEVE in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead”

Justification by Faith

Therefore being justified by FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
