FAITH IS THE RIGHT RESPONSE!*
TEV. AROME E. TOKULA
Ephesians 2:8 - For by GRACE, you have been saved THROUGH FAITH, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.
Salvation – healing, promotion, protection, provision, preservation, and peace - is freely given by grace! It is grace because there is nothing you can do that qualifies you to make God give it to you.
The grace of God is His love actively demonstrated towards you, irrespective of your performance. It is His love, not anything that you have done or will ever do, that has made Him forgive your sins, heal your body, and provided for your needs.
Romans 8:32 says, “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not WITH HIM also FREELY GIVE US ALL THINGS?”
It is God’s love that made Him give us Jesus and with Him, He has given us all things. There is no price you can pay to merit whatever He gives!
2 Peter 1:3 says, “As His DIVINE POWER HAS GIVEN TO US ALL THINGS that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.”
His divine power has given us *ALL* things to enjoy! This divine power is also the grace of God. The grace of God is His willingness to use His power on your behalf, regardless of your performance! His grace has given us all things to enjoy; there is nothing He is withholding from us.
Some believers miss it because they don’t know “how’” to “receive’” what grace has given. There *MUST* be an appropriate response to the grace of God, which is *FAITH.* Faith is the hand that receives what grace has provided because what grace has generously provided, we have to *ACTIVELY* take by faith.
Salvation has been graciously given to all of humanity because of the grace of God, but that doesn’t mean everyone on earth is saved. It has to be received by faith. Romans 3:24 (NIV) says, “And all are JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”
Notice that the Bible says we have been justified *FREELY* by His *GRACE.*
Romans 3:25 (NIV) says, “God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—TO BE RECEIVED BY FAITH...”
This sacrifice of atonement that has been freely made for us has to be *RECEIVED* by *FAITH*. Glory to God! Faith receives! This is why the teaching of grace makes you see God’s supply, who He is, and what He has given you, and the teaching of faith helps you receive what has freely been given. As a child of God, everything that needs to be done concerning you has been finished. God expects you, in faith, to take what is yours!
Romans 4:16 (MSG) says, “This is why the FULFILLMENT of God’s promise DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON TRUSTING GOD AND HIS WAY (FAITH), and then simply embracing him and WHAT HE DOES (grace). God's promise arrives as a pure gift. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY EVERYONE can be sure to get in on it, those who keep the religious traditions and those who have never heard of them. For Abraham is the father of us all. He is not our racial father—that's reading the story backward. He is our faith father.” (Emphasis mine)*_ Grace and faith are the two important requirements for the fulfillment of anything that is yours in Christ Jesus. Faith is dependent entirely on trusting God and His way while grace is simply embracing Him and what He does.
Joshua 18:3 says, “Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: “How long will you NEGLECT TO GO AND POSSESS the land which the LORD God of your fathers HAS GIVEN YOU?”
After the land was subdued, the children of Israel had to take what was theirs. They were neglecting going to take what was theirs.
Church, it is time to take by faith, what is yours. Faith operates by believing in your heart, speaking with your mouth, acting upon God's Word, and yielding to the Holy Spirit. Faith, not our self-effort, is the right response to the grace of God!
DECLARE
Today, I have no confidence in my self-effort. I believe in my heart and so I boldly declare. I receive all that grace has freely given. By faith, I take and live in divine health. I take God’s promotion and protection. I take God’s provision and preservation. I take God’s peace. Glory to God!
