But how are men to call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher? And how can men preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news!” But they have not all heeded the Gospel; for Isiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” So FAITH comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching of Christ.

Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on the law shall live by it. But the righteousness based on FAITH says, Do not say in your heart, “Who will ascend into Heaven?” (That is, to bring Christ down) or “Who will descend into the abyss?” (That is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart (That is, the word which we preach); because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his lips and so is saved. The scripture says, “No one who believes in Him will be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; The same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches upon all who call upon him. For, “Every one who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.”
By scripture, we must 1) Hear–2) Believe–3) Repent–4) Confess–5) AND be baptized to be saved. Thereafter, live a righteous life.
SMILE God loves YOU!! Have a good day all.
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, not about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O men of little FAITH? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we wear? For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your Heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious about itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day.
Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God AND obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, OUR FAITH. Who is it that overcomes the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Mark 16:16–He who BELIEVES and is BAPTIZED will be SAVED: But he who does not believe will be condemned.
This is evidence of the righteous judgement of God, that you may be made worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you are suffering–since indeed God deems it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to grant rest with us to you who are afflicted, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty Angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance upon those who do not know God and upon those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. They shall suffer the punishment of eternal destruction and exclusion from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might, when He comes on that day to be glorified in His Saints, and to be marveled at in all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed. To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of His call, and may fulfill every good resolve and work of FAITH to His power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the Grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
SMILE God loves YOU!!! Have a good day all.
There is ONE body and ONE Spirit, just as you were called to ONE hope that belongs to your call, ONE Lord, ONE FAITH, ONE baptism, ONE God and Father of us all, who is above all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
For this very reason make every effort to supplement your FAITH with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these things are yours and abound, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these things is blind and shortsighted and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and to an inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in Heaven for you, who by God’s power are guarded through FAITH for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while you may have to suffer various trials, so that the genuineness of your FAITH, more precious than gold which though perishable is tested by fire, may rebound to praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Without having seen Him you love him; though you do not now see him you believe in him and rejoice with unutterable and exalted joy. As the outcome of your FAITH you obtain the salvation of your souls.
But some will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your FAITH apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my FAITH. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe–and shutter. Do you want to be shown, you foolish fellow, that FAITH apart from works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar? You see that FAITH was active along with his works, and FAITH was completed by works, and the scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness”; and he was called the friend of God.
Honor widows who are real widows. If a widower has children or grandchildren, let them first learn their religious duty to their own family and make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God. She who is a real widow, and is left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day; whereas she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives. Command this, so that they may be without reproach. If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially his own family, he has DISOWNED THE FAITH and is worse than an unbeliever.
