What a Christian Believes

1 Peter 1 v6,7 '... for a little while you may have had to
suffer grief in all kinds of trials. They have come so that
your faith - of greater worth than gold...., may be proved
genuine and may result in praise, glory and honour when
Jesus Christ is revealed.'

Rich Faith. James 2 v5 'Listen my dear brothers, has not
God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world,
to be rich in faith and to inheret the kingdom He
promised those who love Him.' Having riches in faith does
not necessarily mean having material riches. Nor is a
christian being materially poor necessarily mean there is a
lack of faith. They will inherit riches, maybe in this life,
definitely in the life to come.

Sincere Faith. 1Timothy 1 v5 'The goal of (God's)
command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a
good conscience and a sincere faith.' There is nothing
false in it.

Holy Faith. Jude 20 'But you dear friends, build
yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the
Holy Spirit.' It is a Holy Faith because it is a gift from a holy
God and is to result in a Holy Life.

WITHOUT FAITH WE CANNOT PLEASE GOD.
