The Heart Faith Connection
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Rom 10
Open Your Heart
God will Open your Eyes
Today
7 For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His hand.
Today, if you will hear His voice: 8 “Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, (Provocation) As in the day of trial in the wilderness, Psalm 95
Trial in the Wilderness
Be Careful!
3 Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.” Luke 17
Who Has the Problem?
We Need Faith
5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” 6 So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. Luke 17
Increase our Faith
Jesus’ Response
7 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? 8 But will he not rather say to him, “Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? 9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. Luke 17
Paradigm Shift
Do You Need More of God?
Or
Does God need More of You?
What You Have
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 2 Peter 1:2-4
“Have Been” Given
Partakers of Divine Nature
Growing into the Fullness
5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 2 Peter 1
Giving Diligence
The Present Truth
10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.12 For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth 2 Peter 1:10-12
The Present Truth
You’re an Individual
13 The Lord looks from heaven;He sees all the sons of men.14 From the place of His dwelling He looksOn all the inhabitants of the earth;15He fashions their hearts individually;He considers all their works. Psalms 33:13-15
