YOUR FAITH IN GOD IS ENOUGH

 "Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him." – Hebrews 10:38 (NKJV)


Have you ever felt like you needed to do more to earn God's favor? Many believers struggle with the idea that faith alone is enough. But the Bible tells us that the just shall live by faith—not by works or religious rituals.

A just person is one whom God considers blameless. This righteousness is not obtained through the law or human effort but through faith—faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross.

"Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified." – Galatians 2:16 (NKJV)

Unfortunately, some teachings today suggest that God's blessings must be earned through financial offerings or religious rituals. Some Christians are misled into thinking they must give large amounts of money to secure prosperity or healing. But the Bible does not support this.

Your life is a result of your faith in God, not of what you give. Likewise, your deliverance comes from faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice—not from man-made conditions or transactions.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." – John 3:16 (NKJV)

Notice what it says: "Whoever believes in Him." It does not say, "Whoever gives a redemption offering" or "Whoever connects to a particular church altar." No! It simply says, "Whoever believes."

Faith Alone Pleases God. God’s Word reminds us: "Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him." – Hebrews 10:38 (NKJV)

To "drawback" means turning away from God's truth and relying on other things. This includes believing that you must do extra things besides faith to receive God’s favor. Such thinking displeases Him because it denies the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice.



So today, Return to Simple, Genuine Faith, and examine your faith. Are you trusting in Jesus alone, or have you placed your confidence in religious actions? Some teachings can weaken your trust in God, leading you to rely on people or external rituals instead of Christ. But faith in Jesus Christ is enough—if you believe in Him, He will provide for your every need.

Salvation is free; there is nothing you can give to earn anything from God.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to trust in You and the work You accomplished on the cross so that I may please You and be blessed in my life. Amen.

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...

GOD'S PLAN TO PROSPER YOU

  "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 (NIV)"   God wants you to prosper, and He has a specific plan and method to ensure your success. This special way God has designed for your prosperity is clearly outlined in today’s verse. Let’s break it down: so let us break this verse down;  1. What is the Kingdom of God? The Kingdom of God is His rule over all creation, especially in the hearts of His people. Seeking the Kingdom means living according to God’s will, building a relationship with Him, and working to fulfill His purposes on earth. The word "seek" implies deliberate and consistent effort. It’s not a one-time decision but a daily endeavor to prioritize God in every area of life.  2. "And His Righteousness" Righteousness is living a life that reflects God’s character and standards. It involves moral integrity, obedience to His commandments, and living by faith.  3....
