The Faith of Jesus - Alonzo T. Jones

for it is “Christ in you, the hope of glory,” and it is
only God that is found in Christ.
Thus the faith of Jesus is that which brings God
to men and men to God: it is that which joins the
divine to the human, making men “partakers of the
divine nature:” it is that by which God dwells in
the heart and works in the life, “working in you
that which is well pleasing in his sight;” working in
you “both to will and to do of his good pleasure:” it
is that by which “I am crucified with Christ,
nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me:
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by
the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and
gave himself for me.”
This, and this alone, is the faith of Jesus that
must be kept in order for a person to be indeed a
keeper of “the commandments of God, and the
faith of Jesus,” in order to be a true believer of the
Third Angel’s Message.
And now it comes before us to study this great
and important question of How to Keep the Faith
