THE EFFECTUAL FAITH: THE FAITH THAT WORKS – IS BY ACTING CORRESPONDINGLY ON YOUR BELIEVE OF GOD’S WORD!
Faith in the WORD or the sayings of God makes all the difference. FAITH is acting correspondingly on your BELIEVE on and in the WORD – the sayings of God. FAITH is not BELIEVE and there’s no FAITH at work until you ACT on that which you BELIEVE of God. Meaning NO ACTING ON THE WORD, NO FAITH, hence NO RESULTS!
Faith is the only legal and vital tender to obtain from the Father God, any other process or means is illegal, counterfeit and criminal. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE or CREED or DOGMAS or PHILOSOPHY or TRADITION or CULTURE. It’s not an assumption or presumption, it’s the ACTING on trust, on God’s Word or sayings without an iota of doubts and disbelief.
If you BELIEVE and don’t ACT on it, you’ve not endorse FAITH. If you confess or declare as religion enjoins us and you don’t act accordingly, there’s no faith and you receive not from God. You may receive from men, but not from God.
The FAITH that WORKS and that’s effectual – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the faith communicated in hope. Hence communicate your faith in hope as it’s written: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” Hebrews 11:1.
Also, the FAITH that WORKS and that’s effectual – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the faith communicated in hope through love as it’s written: “. . . But faith which works by love” Galatians 5:6.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.
“But without FAITH (acting on what you believe of God’s WORD) it is impossible to please (receive answers from) Him (God), for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” Hebrews 11:6 (Emphasis mine).
Further Scriptural Read – Hebrews 11:1-3; Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Romans 14:23; Proverbs 4:20-23; 1 Corinthians 13.
