Faith without knowledge is dead faith, the same way faith without works is dead, for if you don’t work at knowing what it is you claim to believe or have faith in, then your faith without knowledge is dead, because you have no knowledge of what it is you claim to believe or have faith in.
“JESUS!”~
Real faith in GOD is not blind, ignorant, foolish, or lacking knowledge, because real faith knows exactly what it believes in, and what it has faith in.
“JESUS!”~
Real faith is not ignorant or lacking knowledge, like many Christians, Jews, Catholics, Muslims, Hebrew Israelites, church folks, and religious folks are ignorant and lacking knowledge!
People, you cannot have real faith in something or someone you don’t know personally, because real faith has knowledge, trust, and hope, and it knows and believes in whatever it has faith in!
Many Christians, Jews, Catholics, Muslims, Hebrew Israelites, church folks, and religious folks, claim to have real faith in GOD, but it is impossible for you to have real faith in GOD, if you lack the revelation knowledge of GOD in CHRIST JESUS!
People, faith without WORKS is dead, the same way faith without knowledge is dead faith, because you must WORK at knowing what it is you claim to believe or have faith in!
(JAMES 2:14-24) What does it profit, my brethren, though a man say he has faith, and does not have WORKS?
Can faith save him?
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be you warmed and filled; notwithstanding you do not give them those things which are needful to the body; what does it profit?
Even so faith, if it does not have WORKS, is dead, being alone.
Yes, a man may say, you have faith, and I have WORKS: show me your faith without your WORKS, and I will show you my faith by my WORKS.
You believe that there is one GOD; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
But will you know, O vain man, that faith without WORKS is dead?
Was not Abraham our father justified by WORKS, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
See you how faith wrought with his WORKS, and by WORKS was faith made perfect?
And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed GOD, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of GOD.
You see then how that by WORKS a man is justified, and not by faith only.
(ECCLESIASTES 2:21-26) FOR THERE IS A MAN WHOSE WORK IS IN WISDOM, AND IN KNOWLEDGE, AND IN EQUITY; yet to a man that has not WORKED in wisdom, knowledge, and equity, he shall leave all his WORK for his portion.
This also is vanity and a great evil. For what has man of all his WORK, and of the vexation of his heart, where he has WORKED under the sun?
For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yes, his heart takes not rest in the night.
This is also vanity. There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his WORK.
This also I saw, that it was from the hand of GOD.
For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?
FOR GOD GIVES TO A MAN THAT IS GOOD IN HIS SIGHT WISDOM, AND KNOWLEDGE, AND JOY: BUT TO THE SINNER HE GIVES TRAVAIL AND HARD WORK, TO GATHER AND TO HEAP UP, THAT HE MAY GIVE TO HIM THAT IS GOOD BEFORE GOD.
This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
(JOHN 6:27) JESUS SAYS, Do not WORK for the meat which perishes, but for that meat which endures unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him has GOD the Father sealed.
Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might WORK THE WORKS OF GOD?
JESUS answered and said unto them, THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD, that you believe on him whom he has sent.
People, this is not a canal WORK JESUS is talking about, this is a spiritual WORK of the spirit of GOD, and you have to WORK at seeking to know GOD through the revelation knowledge of JESUS CHRIST for yourself, to have real faith in CHRIST JESUS!
People, knowledge is power with GOD, and the revelation knowledge of GOD in CHRIST JESUS is the power GOD has given unto man, but if you lack the revelation knowledge of GOD in CHRIST JESUS, then you are powerless!
Many people think they have real faith in GOD, because their greedy religious leaders have taught them that faith in JESUS is asking GOD for things, and believing GOD for carnal things like houses, cars, money, prosperity, finances, riches, church buildings, and material possessions, but real faith is to know GOD through the revelation knowledge of JESUS CHRIST!
People, to what purpose is it to have faith in WHAT GOD can do for you?
But you never seek to KNOW GOD through the revelation knowledge of JESUS CHRIST?
That is like putting the cart before the horse, it’s backwards knowledge, and dead faith!
“PEOPLE, SEEKING TO KNOW GOD THROUGH THE REVELATION KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST IS THE WORK OF GOD!”
(LUKE 11:9-13) JESUS SAYS, And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; SEEK, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
For every one that asks receives; and he that SEEKS finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?
Or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the HOLY SPIRIT to them that ask him?
(MATTHEW 6:33-34) JESUS SAYS, But SEEK you first the kingdom of GOD, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the tomorrow: for tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
(ISAIAH 55:6-7) SEEK you the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
(PROVERBS 8:17) I love them that love me; and those that SEEK me early shall find me.
People, the word of GOD says, if you confess with your mouth the Lord JESUS, and you believe in your heart that GOD has raised JESUS from the dead, then you shall be saved!
For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
But the confessing JESUS with your mouth is the easy part, and anybody can do that!
It’s the believing with your heart many people have a problem with, because you have to know JESUS to believe in your heart.
For it is impossible for you to truly believe or have real faith in something or someone you do not know personally!
(ROMANS 10:9-10) That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord JESUS, and shall believe in your heart that GOD has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.
For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Real faith in GOD is not blind, ignorant, foolish or lacking knowledge, because real faith knows exactly what it believes in!
And you cannot have real faith in something or someone you do not know personally, because real faith has knowledge, trust, and hope, and it knows and believes the JESUS it has faith in!
People, faith without WORKS is dead, the same way faith without knowledge is dead faith, because you must WORK AT KNOWING what it is you claim to have faith in!
(HEBREWS 11:1) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
(HEBREWS 11:6) But without faith it is impossible to please GOD: for he that comes to GOD must believe that GOD is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently SEEK him.
People, the word of GOD says the just shall live by faith, and anything that is not of faith is sin!
But how can you live by faith, if you do not know what it is you claim to have faith in! THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH!~
(ROMANS_1:17) For therein is the righteousness of GOD revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.
(GALALATIANS_3:11) But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of GOD, it is evident: for, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.
(HEBBREWS_10:38) NOW THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
(Romans 14:23) And he that doubts is damned if he eat, because he does not eat of faith: FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN.
People, real faith is right now!
Real faith is to know GOD through the revelation knowledge of JESUS CHRIST!
Real faith is to know the word of GOD which is CHRIST JESUS!
Real faith is walking in the word of GOD you know!
Real faith is to trust the word of GOD you know personally, through the revelation knowledge of JESUS CHRIST!
Real faith is a lifestyle for all the true believers in CHRIST JESUS!
People, when a man or woman comes to the fullness of the knowledge of GOD in the person of JESUS CHRIST, “NOW FAITH IS!”~
(HEBREWS 11:1) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
People, faith is not tomorrow, faith is not next year, faith is not next month, & faith is not in the near future, because faith is right now if you’re a true believer in CHRIST JESUS!
When you truly believe in the truth of GOD’S word by faith, then you call those things that are not as if they already exist!
When you walk in real faith through the revelation knowledge of JESUS CHRIST, then you no longer believe GOD for what he is going to do, because you believe in what GOD HAS ALREADY DONE!
When you’re truly living by real faith in CHRIST JESUS, then you no longer ask GOD to do this, and to do that for you, because you believe in the already finished work of JESUS CHRIST, and you know GOD has already done exceedingly abundantly above all we can ever think or even ask GOD to do for us!
“For the just shall live by faith”!~
Again I say, Real faith in GOD is not blind, ignorant, foolish or lacking knowledge, because real faith knows exactly what it believes in!
And you cannot have real faith in something or someone you do not know personally, because real faith has knowledge, trust, and hope, and it knows and believes the JESUS it has faith in!
People, faith without WORKS is dead, the same way faith without knowledge is dead faith, because you must WORK at knowing what it is you claim to have faith in!
