The Condition and Effects of Faith

"Everything is possible for him who believes"( Mark 9:23) When we place our faith in God, the possibilities open to us are unlimited. Faith is the key that unlocks the resources of heaven for us. Jesus said, " If you have faith... nothing will be impossible for you" ( Matt. 17:20 ) However, faith can not be separated from the will of God. John qualifies this point to us. This is the confidence we have in approaching God., that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears " ( 1 John 5 : 14 ) here John states a condition for asking and receiving. Some promises in the Bible are conditional, that is, they require an appropriate response in us if we are to receive the things He has promised. We must remain in Christ and His word must remain in us, ( John 15:7) We must be obedient ( 1 peter 1:14) and We must live by Spirit ( Galatians 5:16) God bless you. Pastor Mike
