The Faith OF Christ and Faith IN Christ

The Faith OF Christ and Faith IN Christ | Salvation Basics

The Faith OF Christ & Faith IN Christ

Galatians 2:16 in the KJB says,

16 "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."

We are justified by the faith OF Jesus Christ when we believe IN Jesus Christ and in what He did for us through His death, burial and resurrection.

• The faith OF Jesus Christ is from Christ.

• Believe IN Jesus Christ is man's faith in or to "faith in Jesus Christ".

Romans 3:22 KJB

22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Philippians 3:9 KJB

9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

The faith OF Jesus Christ is the righteousness of God. This righteousness of God is in Christ. It is the love of God for us through Christ's faithfulness to obey the will of His Father.

Phil 2:7-8 KJB

7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Romans 5:8 KJB

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:19

19 "For as by one man's disobedience [Adam] many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one [the Lord Jesus Christ] shall many be made righteous."

The righteousness of God was based upon the finished crosswork of Christ, how that Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again for our justification (1 Cor 15:1-4).

The Lord Jesus Christ is fully God and also fully man. That being said, Jesus Christ had faith in God the Father’s plan for Him (God the Son) to go to the cross. Without this faith, Jesus Christ never would have gone to the cross, and no one would have the opportunity to have eternal life with God. Because Christ perfectly kept the law, had perfect righteousness, and the perfect faith to pay for our sin, God is able to give us His righteousness.

The finished crosswork of Christ is the gospel, the good news of Christ. Why is it good news? Because the efficiency and sufficiency of the sacrificial death of Christ at the cross was the only thing that satisfied the perfect justice of what God demanded. A just God can not just forgive us or declare us righteous without the shedding of blood.

Hebrews 9:22b "without the shedding of blood is no remission."

1 John 2:2

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

God is a just God and all people will stand before Him to take account. All are guilty of sin and we can not save ourselves. Even our so-called good works are as filthy rags (Isaiah 54:6). Thus, we desperately need a savior. God's will is for all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. The good news is that when we place our faith in His faithfulness to die for our sins, and that He was buried and that He rose again for our justification, then we are forgiven of all our trespasses, given eternal life in Christ Jesus, and we now have His very own righteousness imputed to us! We are also FREELY GIVEN all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus and a heavenly inheritance! And we didn't deserve nor earn any of it!

Galatians 3:22

22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

This glorious gospel is the POWER of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.

Romans 1:16 in the KJB says,

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

It is ONLY the righteousness of Christ that can satisfy the perfect demand of the law of God. If salvation depends on the perfection of our faith, we would all be doomed to eternity in the lake of fire!

For us to have a perfect standing before a Holy God, we place our faith in Jesus Christ and in His faithfulness (to die for our sins, be buried and he rose again for our justification).

Keeping a Homemaker Schedule | Biblical Womanhood and Homemaking Studies

Proverbs 31:27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. These are just some helpful suggestions, not rules that you have to follow, but are some things that have worked for me . If you are unable to be a full-time homemaker, you can adjust your schedule in a way that works for your family. God wants women, especially the young women, to be busy taking care of their families, studying His word and teaching her children Gods word. He doesn't want us being idle, nor to be busy doing things that are not profitable or edifying. 1 Tim 5:6 says, But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 1 Tim 5: 13 And withal they learn to be idle , wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies (gossiping), speaking things which they ought not. 14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 15 For s

Children in the Rapture

Will Babies and Children Go Up in the Rapture of the Church the Body of Christ? I used to think that if children had not believed the gospel, then they would remain on the earth during the tribulation period. After all, during the flood of Noah's time, children were also drowned. We know from scripture that there is essentially an age of accountability in which a person comes to know and understand sin and that they willingly choose to sin. For some it is the teenage years, and for a few it might be even younger. C hildren can come to eventually understand that they willingly sin, though if left to understand it without it being explained to them, it may not be understood until they are much older, usually in their teenage years. So, when children die, they go to heaven even if they have never believed the Gospel. As believers we should want to give our children the gospel all throughout their childhood so that they will hopefully choose to believe it. Romans 1:18 says, 18 For th

The Mystery | Salvation Basics | Women's Rightly Divided Bible Study

The Mystery I will be talking about the mystery in much more detail in a coming Bible study series, but for now let's do a brief introductory study regarding the mystery. First of all, a mystery is a secret. Our dispensation of grace was a SECRET kept hid in God until it was revealed first to Paul. It is no longer a secret since it was revealed but it is referred to as "the mystery" because it had previously been a secret. Satan is blinding most people from knowing anything about it! Ephesians 3:1-11 in the KJB says, 1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by

Having a meek and quiet spirit | Biblical Womanhood and Homemaking

Having a Meek and Quiet Spirit 1 Peter 3:3-4 KJB 3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. Having a meek and quiet spirit as Christian women is something that we learn as we get sound doctrine built up in our inner man. First of all, being meek and quiet isn't just for women! There are several verses that tell men and women to be meek and to be quiet. Titus 3:2 - To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. Colossians 3:12 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Ephesians 4:2 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Websters 1828 dictionary defi

How to Have Eternal Life

How to Have Eternal Life To have eternal life, understand first of all that you are a sinner and that you cannot save yourself. Romans 3:23 in the King James Bible says, 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; God is a righteous judge and will judge all people according to their works. Romans 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. You cannot earn your way to salvation. We are only justified by grace through faith in what Christ Jesus has done for us. Next, simply believe how that Christ Jesus died for your sins, was buried and rose again for your justification. 1 Cor 15:3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, 👉how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures"👈 The moment that you SIMPLY BELEIVE that glorious gospel, you are saved forever! Romans 1:16 16 For I am not as
