How to Have Faith In Jesus Christ

Considering the examples of people who lived by faith that the Scripture tells us about, it is not hard to tell that many blessings abound for those who exercise how to have faith in Jesus Christ.

Before christ, you cannot begin to mention people who lived by faith without first mentioning Abraham. He is commonly regarded as the father of faith. He was a man who demonstrated what it means to live by faith (Hebrews 11 v 8, 9, 17) and he was greatly rewarded for it. He went from being childless to being the father of us all. How amazing!

Ruth was another woman who lived by faith. Even though she hadn't the slightest idea what would become of her if she went with Naomi, she however stayed glued to her, her people and her God (Ruth 1 v 16) and she got herself a slot in th lineage of our Lord Jesus Christ. Apart from that, she was the first among two women who had books of the Bible entirely dedicated to them.

What do we say of Rahab, who was saved from destruction for her deeds of kindness to the men that went to spy out the city of Jericho? Not only was she spared, she was also mention among the heroes of faith. The widow of Zarephath lived by faith and she and her son were sustained in famine.

Time will fail me to talk of the woman of Shunem, Esther, Moses, Enoch, Elijah, Noah, Abel, Isaac and a host of others who lived by faith and were richly blessed by God.

Even today many blessings are laid up for you if you only will dare to live by faith. You will get over your circumstances. You will live a joyful life in a world where there's so much to sorrow about. You will be able to talk of a lifting up where others say there is a casting down (Job 22 v 29). You will do with ease what others struggle through. God will reveal His mind, will and purpose to you at every point in time. Many, just by your life of faith in Jesus will be drawn to the Lord. The Christian life will be so real the same way God is real to you. There will be no impossibility for you (Matthew 17 v 20).

Blessings of Living By Faith In Jesus

Indeed, the blessings attached to living by faith in Jesus are too numerous to mention. The blessings pronounced in Jeremiah 17 v 7-8, will better make you understand what you stand to gain when you live a life of faith. Like How Can I have Faith in God?

What else is there to say? Dare to trust God within your whole life. Learn to stand on His unfailing promises at all times and you will be pleased to find that He never disappoints those who fully depend on Him.
