Nature of Faith Content of Faith Strength of Faith Words of Action John 3:16,17 Nature of Faith Content of Faith Strength of Faith

Words of Action John 3:16,17 Nature of Faith Man’s definition often means: Wishful thinking Subjectivity of personal ideas Biblical definition related to truth: Truth or evidence Reliable and certain Hebrews 11:1 – a deed, an action

Words of Action John 3:16,17 Content of Faith First truth to believe: We are sinners less than God God must punish our debt of sin Second truth to believe: God loves you in spite of your sin God acted in Christ to pay your debt God wants to conform you to Christ

Words of Action John 3:16,17 Content of Faith (continued) Do you believe you are a sinner? Do you believe God when He tells us we deserve to perish for sin? Do you believe that God sent Jesus to die in your place for that sin? Do you believe His death and resurrection bring you salvation?

Words of Action John 3:16,17 Strength of Faith This initial faith of action is called justification. Action that grows in understanding & commitment is called sanctification. Abraham is once again our example. From weakness and lack of understanding to the strength to believe in the resurrection

Words of Action John 3:16,17 Application Has your faith or belief ever moved from being a noun to a verb? What steps are you taking to grow your faith into an action verb? How is your action verb affecting others around you?
