How Faith Saves271You can only please God in “the spirit” (John 4) and, therefore,you must believe every “word” which God, The Father tells youby His Son, Jesus. Only faith, which is believing everything yourFather tells you to do, can save you. You must honor God - justas Christ believed every “word” of God, His Father (Matthew4:4).What Works?What did James mean when he said, “…shew thee my faith bymy works” (James 2:18). What works are these? It isn’t howgood or righteous you make yourself feel by your own human effort,but how much you believe every “word” that God reveals inHis “word” (“logos”) by His Son, Jesus. Faith in your Father iswhat God wants. Believe your Dad. He is your parent who lovesyou. That is how faith saves.Hebrews ElevenRead Hebrews 11. It is The Faith Chapter, par excellence. Notone example of faith listed in the chapter has anything to do withhow good or perfect God’s chosen people are. King David wasa sinner, a murderer and adulterer. But he totally believed Godwhen he defeated Goliath. That is faith in God.Noah had faith when he built the ark. It saved him and his familyfrom the flood. Abraham, also, was told to sacrifice his son,Isaac. He believed God in faith that He would resurrect Isaac inorder to keep His promise to Abraham. This faith was Abraham’srighteousness. He did whatever God told him. In like manner,you must also believe every “word” that your Father tells you todo by His Son, Jesus. These are “the works,” which prove yourfaith - and the faith of all Christians. In faith, you believe Christ
