FAITH

• Scripture makes clear that Faith is the means by which we receive and appropriate the grace gift of salvation purchased for us by Jesus Christ on the cross.

Page 6: Salvation 5

Ephesians 2:8-9

“For by grace you have been saved through FAITH; and that not of

yourselves, it is the GIFT of God; not as a result of works, that no one should

boast.”

Page 7: Salvation 5

Galatians 2:16

“ . . . nevertheless, knowing that a person is not justified by the works of the law

but through FAITH in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we

may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law; since by the

works of the law shall no flesh be justified.”

Page 8: Salvation 5

What is “Saving Faith?”

• Faith includes a full commitment of the whole person to the Lord Jesus; a commitment that involves three things:

1. Knowledge

2. Trust

3. Obedience

Page 9: Salvation 5

The Three “Musts” of Saving Faith:

1. Knowledge (Intellectual aspect of faith)

2. Trust (or Feeling) (Emotional aspect of faith)

3. Obedience (Volitional aspect of faith)

• Faith is not merely an intellectual assent or an emotional response, but a complete inward spiritual change confirmed to us by the Holy Spirit.

• The object of faith is not the teaching about Christ, but Christ himself. Though faith is more than doctrinal assent, it must include adherence to doctrine . . .

Page 12: Salvation 5

• In our belief and commitment to Jesus Christ we acknowledge him as Savior from sin and Lord of our lives (Romans 10:9).

• True conversion definitely involves a belief in Christ’s person as the God-man and in his work as Savior. We must remember, however, that it is possible to have an orthodox understanding of Christ without a living faith in Him (James 2:19) . . .

CONVERSION (Repentance and Faith)

Page 15: Salvation 5

I Know Whom I Have Believed

I know not why God’s wondrous grace

To me He hath made known,

Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love

Redeemed me for His own.

Page 16: Salvation 5

But “I know whom I have believed,

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed

Unto Him against that day.”

Page 17: Salvation 5

I know not how this saving faith

To me He did impart,

Nor how believing in His Word

Wrought peace within my heart.

Page 18: Salvation 5

But “I know whom I have believed,

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed

Unto Him against that day.”

Page 19: Salvation 5

I know not how the Spirit moves,

Convincing men of sin,

Revealing Jesus thro’ the Word,

Creating faith in Him.

Page 20: Salvation 5

But “I know whom I have believed,

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed

Unto Him against that day.”

Page 21: Salvation 5

I know not when my Lord may come,

At night or noon-day fair,

Nor if I’ll walk the vale with Him,

Or meet Him in the air.

Page 22: Salvation 5

But “I know whom I have believed,

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed

Unto Him against that day.”
