 Okay. All right. So the recording has started. Welcome back to the second hour for our class, BC 111 on faith. And thank you for staying connected here. Let's pick up a question from Paul. The question is from Galatians 3, 23. The faith mentioned that is there a difference between of all those believers believed and the faith mentioned in the New Testament. So the answer to that question is no, it is the same faith in God in the Old Testament and in the New Testament. And very interestingly, as we study the New Testament, the New Testament points to an Old Testament figure, Abraham, as the father of faith. And then Romans 4 tells us, follow the faith of Abraham. So that's very interesting because we are in the New Testament, but it's pointing to Abraham says, you know, he's the father of faith and follow the steps of his faith. So we can conclude therefore that faith in the Bible, whether it's in the Old Testament or New Testament is the same. And in fact, we will see that the very principles we are talking about faith in the New were actually given to the people in the Old and we will be referencing Old Testament scriptures as well. So it's it, you know, the answer to your question is it's the same. All right. Okay, all right. So, yeah, so we will talk a little bit about we have a whole chapter on faith and patience. So we will, we will discuss that, you know, how faith and patience work together. It's in all these are important questions that each of you are asking. And, you know, we will talk about these things as we progress. Okay. So I'm going to go back to our lecture notes so that we could progress on that. And we will take up questions again towards the after I just move forward a bit. Right. So what we've done so far is we've looked at Hebrews 11 and we've tried to understand from this verse of scripture what faith is. And I would encourage you to come back. I just read the notes. I read the PDF given you some here. And, you know, you can refresh yourself on that. Further down in Hebrews chapter 11, the next point I want us to understand about faith is that faith connects us to God. Yeah. So God is spirit. We are also spirit beings, but we are living in a natural body. You know, we spend so much of our time engaging with natural things. You know, we're living in this world. We are thinking, we're analyzing, we use our mind and we go about our day to day activities. So so much of our time is used up in the natural things of life. You know, but then faith enables us to connect with God who is spirit. Right. And that's why Hebrews 11-1, Hebrews 11-6, sorry. It says, without faith, it's impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must believe that he is. So he says, you believe that God is and that he's a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. So we come to God believing that he is. So faith, my faith is involved in my connection with God and faith connects me to God. And when we are connected to God, we are taken outside of this natural realm. That means we are no longer confined to what we can do with our own strength and own abilities, but now we are connected to God and together with God we can do much more than, you know, what we are, our own strength or our own abilities. Right. So the second important thing for us to understand is faith connects us to God. We come to God believing that he is and that when I believe that he is, I'm connected with God. It pleases him. And the same verse is telling us that faith is required to please God without faith. It's impossible to please him. He verse 11 verse 6. Or if you want to turn it around, you could say, faith pleases God. When I have faith in God, I am pleasing God. Right. Faith is required to please God. Now, the next thing I want to emphasize as we just introduced this subject of faith is that faith is in the person of Jesus Christ. Faith isn't the person. So faith is not some mental gymnastics. You know, it's not, oh, I'm just trying to tell myself, you know, something. Faith is not, you know, a psychological game. Faith isn't the person. The Bible says looking to Jesus. That means faith is focused on the person looking to Jesus. He is the author and finisher of our faith. The author means the originator, the source, the beginner. He's the author. My faith, our faith starts with him. It's because of him. It is in him. And he is the finisher, meaning he's the perfect. He's the complete of our faith. So remember Bible faith, Bible faith. We're talking about Bible faith. Bible faith isn't the person of Jesus. Bible faith is not, you know, a set of, you know, make-believe things. No, it's in the person. And faith works because of whom we have faith in. We have faith in God. Like Mark 11, 22, Jesus said, have faith in God. Our faith is in God, in the person. And faith works. Faith produces. Faith is powerful. Faith is effective because of the one in whom we have faith. It's in Jesus Christ, right? So keep that in mind because the world, the world has its copy, right? The world, you know, people say, you know, okay, just tell yourself everything is fine. And, you know, it's just, they think it's more of a mental game, a psychological game, but that's not Bible faith. Bible faith is not a psychological game. Bible faith is in the person. And Bible faith works because God works. God answers. God responds to faith. Next, we must understand that faith is based on relationship, right? So we look at Abraham. You know, Abraham was called the father of faith, but very interestingly in James 2 and verse 23, Abraham is also called the friend of God. Abraham believed God, or Abraham had faith in God. And God gave him righteousness and he was called a friend of God. Faith is based on relationship. Now, because we have a relationship with God, because this relationship with God is growing, we cannot faith in him. So Bible faith is not a set of rules. It's not some mechanical thing. It's not some, you know, here are four steps. No, it's based on relationship. We are in a covenant relationship with Almighty God. And out of that, because of that relationship, I can have faith. Because of that relationship with God was a covenant keeping God. I can believe, I can have confidence, even in things I'm not seeing, even things that I'm hoping for. Because of that relationship, right? So that's very important. Faith is based on our covenant relationship with God and who God is. It's not some mechanical thing, right? Next important thing to understand is that faith is of the heart. This is important, right? Romans 10 verse 10 says, with the heart one believes. How do you believe? You believe with the heart. So the heart is just another word, especially the New Testament is used to refer to the spirit of man. So we as beings, we are spirit, soul and body. Each of us spirit, soul and body. Right? So with the heart, one believes. It means we believe with the heart. So sometimes what we believe may not be fully understood by our mind, our logic. So faith is of the heart. The mind, our soul, our mind may not fully understand it, sometimes our mind cannot explain it because faith is of the heart, it's not of the mind. Now, it is good with our mind that we think, we ask questions, we understand certain things, all that is good. But faith is of the heart, but the heart one believes. So many times what you believe in your heart is bigger than what you can understand with your mind. And so we are not confined to what we can understand with our mind because we are living by what we believe in our heart. That's why 2 Corinthians 5 and verse 7 says, we walk by faith, not by sight. My mind operates by sight, my mind can operate by what I see, hear, feel, touch and taste and all of that. But we walk how we live, as we live by what we believe in our heart, what the faith that we have. So faith is of the heart and many times it's much bigger than what our mind can understand. You know, think about the time, and you know, we will see many examples of this. Think about the time that Jesus told Peter, Peter was in the boat, there was a storm, he saw Jesus coming and walking on the water and Peter says, Lord, if it is you, bid me come walking on the water. Tell me to come to you. And Jesus gives him just one word, he says, come. And Peter steps out of the boat and he walks on the water to go to Jesus. Now try to imagine at that moment as Peter is stepping out of the boat and putting his feet on the water. His mind is saying, Peter, you cannot walk on the water. You will have to go down, gravity is going to pull you down. And his mind will be saying, Peter, what are you doing? But he has heard the word. The word said, come. And he's stepping out. So his faith is in the person, Jesus. His faith is in the word Jesus has given him. Although his mind cannot fully figure this out, his mind is not going to be able to do any kind of calculation to give him a reason as to why he can walk on the water. Mind cannot do it. But he steps out and he walks on the water. That's just, yeah, so that is an illustration for us here that many times faith is of the heart. And it takes us beyond what our minds can understand. I'm not saying don't use your mind. God gave us our mind. We have to use it. We think with our mind and, you know, we live in this natural world with our mind. That's fine. But faith supersedes that. Next, we see in many places in scripture and I've listed some of these verses here that God calls us to live by faith. So God is saying, I want you to live by faith. So don't live just by your mind. We have to use our mind. I'm not, you know, we have to use our mind where to make a lot of decisions and various things we do and God wants us to use our mind. He gave it to us. But he says, I want you to live by faith. That means you're believing in God must dictate everything else in your life. So even when you make decisions, you're making them based on your faith in God, not based on fear, not based on doubt, not based on unbelief, but based on faith, right? So faith, you know, touches every aspect of our life. As we said in the very beginning, God has called us to live by faith and faith will touch every aspect of our lives. We're called to live by faith and we walk by faith, right? And in Galatians 22 or chapter 2 verse 20, Paul, he says, you know, I live by faith. I live by faith in the Son of God. I live by faith in the Son of God. So that's how he lives. I'm living by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Now, a few other things in this introduction chapter. We all are familiar with this, how faith is conceived. It's as faith comes by hearing and Romans 10 17. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God, by the Word of God, right? So how is faith generated in our hearts? It's through the Word of God. Faith is based on what God has said, right? It is based on who God is and what he has spoken to us, right? So faith is based on that. We rest upon this word. God has made a promise. God has spoken. God has given his word to me. So faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God, hearing by the Word of God. So God's Word is the basis for our faith. Hearing the Word of God is the basis for our faith. And we will see this in many examples as we go along, that the Word of God is what births faith. Now, I just want to mention here one, we have the written scriptures. You know, God has given us his written word. So all our faith is founded on that, on the written scriptures. And then there are times when God speaks to our spirit. So there are personal words in God speaks to our spirit. It's not necessarily chaptered words. It could be something very specific that God speaks and says, he says, you go and do this. I want you to step out and do this. He gives you a very direct word, but it comes through a dream. It may come as an inner witness in your spirit. It may be a prophetic word. It may come through the gifts of the spirit or some other way. God may speak a specific word. Now, even that word generates faith, right? So there is the written word of God, which is uppermost. But then there may be personal directive words God gives to us, which, you know, when we are sure that we've heard from God and it's aligned to the written word, that word acted upon also will produce in our lives and we must learn to go with that. And one example is this. In Acts 27 was just 2325. And this was a time when Paul was on his journey to Rome by ship and they went into bad weather conditions. What happened? An angel of God came and he said, Paul, don't be afraid. God has granted that you will come before Caesar and those with you will also come there. They will be brought safe. And so Paul says, you know, I believe God, it will be just as it was told me. That means this is a specific word brought to Paul. God is an angel to bring that word to him. And he says, I believe God. Now, that word brought faith in his heart. And sure enough, both Paul and all the people with him and the ship were saved. Okay. So let me pause here and see if there are any questions, anything that anybody wants to ask. Any questions? Elisha has a question. Can we have faith to receive from God outside of Jesus Christ? Can we have faith? Can we have faith to receive from God outside of Jesus Christ? Elisha, would you like to explain that question a little bit so I can understand it better before I answer. Pastor, I think my question was even answered in your explanation of faith that is birth in Christ. So I am okay. I get the question. I get the answer to the question. Thank you very much. Okay. So you're saying we learned from Hebrews 12 that Jesus is the author and finisher of faith. So faith starts and ends, culminates in Jesus. So Bible faith is in the person of Jesus Christ. And yeah, you cannot sort outside of Jesus. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Good. Any other questions so far? I know I've gone over several introductory points about faith. Any questions on that? Okay. So Joash has a question. By the specific word which is spoken to us which causes faith. Right. So Joash, so there are two dimensions to this. Right. The first is the written scriptures. Right. So there are promises in the written scriptures which are for all of us. You know, the Bible says that God is no respecter of persons. Right. Romans 2 verse 11 also in Acts 10, 34, he says, you know, God is no respecter of persons. He has no partiality. Right. And we know that all the promises of God are yes and amen. Right. For all of us, not just for some, all of us, all the promise 2 Corinthians 1 verse 20, all the promises of God are yes and amen. So that is the first thing. All of us equally can believe the scriptures at every promise. You can take it. It's for you. God spoke to you. It's for you. Everything Jesus did on the cross is for all of us. So all of us can believe the written scriptures and receive. So that's the first basis. The word of God, faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God. So that's the first thing. We go with the written scriptures, the Bible. Secondly is a specific word, personal word. So each one of us are going through, you know, different situations in life. Some may be students, some may be working, some may be doing different things. Okay. So in our personal situation, God will speak a specific word. Now that specific word can come through a quickening of the scripture. It can come through an inner witness of the Holy Spirit. It can come through a dream or a vision. God gives you. It can come through a prophetic word. Right. So many different ways. And we just looked at an example where God sent an angel to speak to the apostle Paul and bring a message. So that's a personal word that God gives to you and you step out on it. And God, you know, does wonderful things in response to that. Okay. So both are important. One is the Bible, the scripture, and one is the personal word that God speaks to us. And maybe as we go along in this course, I'll just share some stories and experiences. But, you know, I want us to learn the Bible, not listen to stories. So we'll spend most of our time, you know, in scripture, but now and then I'll share some stories. Okay. So next question was from our days. Sometimes faith is saying to speak to a person. I'm speaking them sometimes and confused about my faith. So how can grow my faith? Okay. How can I grow on my faith? Okay. Sure. So we will, but we have a chapter, actually two chapters coming up. One is on, you know, how to nurture your faith and now the chapter on how to develop strong faith. Right. So we will be addressing those things in detail. But very quickly, just to give you a preview, you know, one is you develop strong faith by the word of God, meditating on the word of God. Second, you develop your faith by speaking the word of God. Another way to develop your faith is by exercising your faith. You know, faith is like a muscle. So just if we look at our own physical body, when you exercise your muscle, it causes the muscle to become stronger. Right. So faith is like that. You exercise, you use it and it'll strengthen your faith. So those are some things that then it's also good to be around people of faith, to be among the people who believe God that will encourage our faith. Right. So that also helps. So these are some things and we will study more later on. Okay. Devya, how can we make sure that the specific word God spoke is from God or from within ourselves? Yeah. So that's a very big question. Right. So every personal word, you know, a specific word that comes, we have to test it. Right. The Bible tells us to test all things. First, the Salonians five, I think it's verse 21, it says test all things, hold fast to what is good. So first, the Salonians five, yeah, verse 21, test all things. So we have to test those words, whether the prophecies and dreams or visions or inner witness, we have to test it. And the one important thing is, let me just mention very quickly here, one is we test it with the word of God. So make sure that whatever we feel in our inner witness or the prophecy is not contradicting the written scriptures. Second, it's important to have two or more witnesses. Right. So we read about this in Second Corinthians 13, verse one and two, that there's got to be two or more witnesses. So if God, if you feel in your inner witness that God is leading me to do this, we say God, confirm that one more way. So he may confirm it through something you read in the Bible that quickens your heart. He may confirm it to you by a dream or a vision or by an open door, you know, so there's a confirmation coming. So the mouth of two or three witnesses, every word is established. So you ask God for two or three witnesses. Okay. So that will help confirm that word, especially when it's a specific word. Elisha, is that okay? David, you have a question? No, no, I'm saying thank you. Okay. Okay. Two more questions. Let's see now. Elisha has a question. How does the exercise of faith relate to this? Okay. How does the exercise of faith relate with the sovereignty of God? Very good question. I think the next chapter, a chapter that's coming up, I think maybe some second chapter deals with it. Right. We're going to talk about faith in God and the sovereignty of God, because that's a big idea. Okay. So we will pick that up in an entire chapter. I think it's the very next chapter, chapter two. We're going to talk about that. Okay. Faith in God and sovereignty of God. Okay. Elisha, so we'll be there soon. Isaac, what's the difference, if any, between belief and faith? Like they say, believe in God, have faith in God. Okay. So, so Isaac, like what we said, faith and believing God in the Bible, it comes from the same word, comes from the same Greek word. Faith is a noun, believe is a verb, but the root word is the same. So really, they mean the same thing. They mean the same thing. Except that, you know, believe is verb, faith is noun, but they come from the same Greek word. So what we can say is believing is the act of having faith, because believing is a verb, so believing is action. Believing is the act of having faith. It's the same thing. Faith is a noun. Faith is in the person. When you have faith in the person, you are believing. Believing is the act of having faith. So the answer to your question, Isaac, is they are the same thing. There is no difference. Just that believing is a verb. Faith is a noun. Okay. All right. Let's finish one more question. Elisha, what should be the measure of faith to receive from God? Just a sign, so I must see it on a greater measure. Elisha, when Jesus said, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you can move the mountain, he is showing us a power of faith. He's saying, this is a powerful faith, is that a mustard seed size of faith can affect so much change in the natural world. You can even move a mountain. That means that's how powerful faith is. Now there is, we don't have a way to measure faith in the sense that, you know, we can't take it out and put it into a measuring cup and say, you know, there's so many ounces of faith or so many liters of faith, we can't measure it. So like I had answered a little earlier, what we can say is the only way we know we have the faith that is required is when we see the job done. And now faith produces, we know we have the faith that's needed. If our faith is not producing, then we need to say, God, how do I perfect my faith? How do I bring my faith to that place of maturity? And very often, very often, our faith grows, it comes to that place of maturity. So that's why there's the time element that our faith is getting stronger and it comes to the place like we read in James 22, it comes to the place where it is able to produce. So we can't measure our faith, but we can tell whether our faith is producing, whether by the outcome it is not producing, then we just say, God, I'm going to just develop my faith to let produce this. I hope that answers your question. So the answer is, we need faith that we produce and we just need to grow. Please forgive me if I don't pronounce your name correctly, but Malongo lino, I hope I pronounced it correctly. What is your question, please? Yes, Pastor, I just wanted to know something. I have a minister friend of mine who usually just puts up programs and he believes that by faith this program is going to run. I mean, a sudden program like he can say on Sunday that we are having a conference on Wednesday and you know, you have to run up and down and make sure that things run. And I wanted to know is this faith, is it because sometimes I feel like I'm contradicting with the decision that he has made because I think that things should be done a certain way that they are not done. So I just wanted you to clarify on that maybe it would be of help, yes, in this kind of situation because if someone is being something that is right and I have a certain mind that is not right, it wouldn't be good for me. Thank you. Yeah, fine. Yes, Malongo, I understand your question, right? So there are times when God may tell us to do something instantly, but other times we need to prepare ourselves. We need to take the time to do it well. So let me talk about the second part first. You know, in 1 Corinthians 12 and verse 28, there is a gift or there's a function in the body of Christ. It talks about two, one is the ministry of helps and the other one is the ministry of administrations, right? So in that same verse, 1 Corinthians 12, 28, where it talks about the apostle, the prophet, the gifts of workings, miracles, healings, tongues, interpretation of tongues. It also talks about helps and administrations or government. The word there, the Greek word really there is talking about a person who is steering a ship. So can you imagine when somebody steers a ship, they don't just wake up one morning and say, okay, come on guys, we're all going to, you know, someplace. No, it's something that's planned. There's a lot of detail that goes into making a journey by ship. You need to know where you're going. You may need to, you know, put enough supplies on the ship. So to last the journey, the journey is going to be 30 days. You need enough supply in the ship. And, you know, you need all the people, you need the manpower, a lot of things. And a person who organizes that word there, 1 Corinthians 12, 28 administrations. So administration is a gift in the body of Christ. That means the ability to plan, organize, and, you know, all of that is in the body of, it's a God appointed, you know, Paul says in verse 28, God has appointed and then he says administrations. So this is just one example. And like we can see many examples in the Bible starting from Genesis till the end that God is a God of order. God is a God of plan. Now think about God. He planned before the foundation of the world that Jesus would be the Lamb of God. He waited 4,000 years to send Jesus to die on the cross. He could have sent Jesus the day after Adam sinned. No, but he planned and he executed this plan over a period of 4,000 years. So there's something we need to learn from God. They got plans and he plans way ahead of time. And he takes his time to execute the plan. So to answer your question, that's how we should be working. We should follow God's example, which is you plan to organize and you execute it well, do it well. So that's how we should be running our ministries or doing our ministry. Now there are times and this would be exceptions when God wants us to do something now. Example, Acts chapter 8, Philip is in Samaria and the Holy Spirit says Philip, go down to Gaza. I will tell you what to do. Go down to Gaza. So he goes there. Next thing, Holy Spirit says Philip, join the chariot. So Philip has no time to discuss, no time to plan. He just has to get into the chariot. So God does those things, those kinds of things, but those are exceptions, I would say, but we have to respond immediately. When God says join the chariot, you have to join the chariot. At that moment, now if Philip was saying God, give me three days to fast and pray the chariot would have been gone. If he would come there, there is no chariot. He had to join the chariot immediately. There's no time to do anything else. So there are times when God requires us to act immediately, do it now. But the norm is plan. God shows you things ahead of time. And we must learn to plan by the Spirit. And the Apostle Paul writes about this in 2 Corinthians chapter 1. He says, the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh or according to the Spirit? 2 Corinthians chapter 1. And let me give you the exact words. It's in verse 17. Paul is planning his ministry. And he says, what I'm planning, I'm planning by the Spirit. So the Holy Spirit shows you things ahead of time. And then you plan for that. 2 Corinthians chapter 1, verse 17. I hope that answers your question, Malongo. Thank you. Yes. All right. Now, Sravan Chinno. Passing a plan of faith for certain situations to happen. Is there any work that we need for action to complete the situation? Okay. So your question, Sravan Chinno, is you're using your faith for something. And your question is, do I just keep believing or do I need to do something? In most cases, we have to do something. Only if there is something, only if it's like, okay, I can't do anything beyond just believing, okay, then you just believe. But in most cases, God wants us to take action. There are certain things you can do to align or to get ready for that, whatever you're believing. So my answer to your question is, if there are things you can do, then start out doing those things in line with what God has shown you. Prepare yourself. If there's absolutely nothing you can do, then fine. Just believe. So it varies from situation to situation. All right. So let's just go back to our notes and we will try to cover some more ground before we close today. I'll go back to the notes and share the PDF. So a few more things here is faith in the Word of God is faith in God. Why? Because God is the one who spoke the Word. So when you and I believe the Bible, when you and I believe the promises in the Bible, we're actually having faith in God because we're believing God who spoke the Word. And a beautiful example is that of the Sancturian who came to Jesus and he said, Lord, just speak the Word. My servant will be healed. He said, just speak the Word. Why? Because I believe in you. Therefore, I believe in the power of your Word. I believe that when you speak, it will happen. So the Sancturian was expressing his faith in the person of Jesus when he said, just speak the Word. Because he believed in the authority in the person and the authority he carried. And he said, if you speak the Word, it will happen. Right? So remember, faith in the Word is faith in God himself. And I mentioned this earlier that faith is like a muscle. It grows as it is exercised. So Romans 12 verse 3 says that God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. God has given to all of us a measure of faith. So each one of us is believers. There's a starting measure of faith in our hearts. We can't say there is no faith. No, he's put that faith. But now we have to grow that. And how do we grow it when we exercise that faith? Paul writes to the Thessalonians. He writes in 2nd Thessalonians 1-3 and he says, your faith grows exceedingly. Look at that. Your faith grows exceedingly. So that they had the measure of faith. But now the faith was growing. It was getting bigger. It was getting stronger. And so we are going to learn how to grow our faith, how to develop our faith in God. And just to put it in simple terms, faith grows as we feed it, nurture it, and exercise it. So what must we do? You feed your faith, you nurture your faith, and exercise it. We will explain these things as we go along. Now we must understand that for our faith to grow in our hearts, it needs the right environment. It needs the right environment. And in addition to faith, there are other things that influence our faith. For example, we see in Galatians 5 or 6, Paul says very clearly, faith works through love. Faith works through love. So I can't say I have faith in God and then hate all the people around me. Faith will not be able to produce in that kind of an environment. I've got to be walking in love towards people because faith works through love. And we also see in 2 Peter 1, 5 through 8, Peter says add to your faith. Add to your faith. That means you've got faith, but surround it with all of these things. Surround it with virtue, which is character or the virtues of God. Surround it with knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, holiness, brotherly kindness, and love. So faith needs a conducive environment to grow in, an environment where there is virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, kind, brotherly kindness, and love. So in our heart, when we surround the faith we're talking about with these virtues, with these things, our faith is going to be fruitful. It's going to produce. So keep that in mind. Although this whole course is about faith and we're going to talk about faith, just keep this in mind that love and other factors influence the development of our faith. And we also see that a good conscience is required. We read about that in 1 Timothy 1, 19. That means my heart must be clear before God. I shouldn't have a conscience that condemns me. So I'm going to stop here. I will pick up from this statement next week that faith causes the power of God to be released. I'll pick it up from there and we will pause here for today. I hope today was an introduction to faith that all of you are following with me. You understood and I hope it increases your desire to learn more about faith and your eager to grow in faith and learn how to use it in your work with God in your life and journey. So we're going to just take a moment to pray and we will close in prayer. I'm just randomly picking people that I can see on the screen I'm not sure how to pronounce this name. Zerli Toli What's WOTS? Did I pronounce your name correctly? Okay would you like to pray and dismiss us please? Sure. Over God we come before your presence in the mighty name of Jesus.
