Faith Pleases GOD
All reconciled unto the Father through the Blood by the finished work of Jesus the Anointed One have been given GOD’s kind of faith and GOD’s kind of love (Romans 12:3, Galatians 5:6; Romans 5:5). Faith is powered by divine love and undergirded by its power twin – patience. Hebrews 11:6 tells us that without faith it is impossible to please the Father; and this is why faith pleases GOD:
- Faith believes GOD
- Faith believes that GOD’s Word is Truth.
- Faith believes that GOD is true to His Word
- Faith believes that GOD is able.
- Faith believes that GOD is ever faithful; it believes in the faithfulness of GOD.
Abraham is referred to as the father of all of the faith because he exhibited full confidence (faith) that GOD would do what He said He would do. More specifically, that at about 100 years old with no children he would become the father of many nations; his descendants too numerous to count (as the stars in the sky or the sand).
Jesus the Messiah also exhibited faith that, after fulfilling the purpose for which He was sent, the Father would raise Him up. Jesus is Lord because having walked in perfect obedience to the will of the Father unto death on our behalf, He was seated at the right hand of the Father. So too, in Him, are we seated by the unmerited favor or amazing grace of the Father (Ephesians 2:4-7).
We walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7; Galatians 3:11); that through Christ Jesus we reign (Romans 5:17), partakers of The Blessing (consisting of many blessings) to establish GOD’s covenant in the earth. Blessed to be a blessing requires faith for the manifestation of the promises of GOD; for it pleases Abba Father to give us the Kingdom (Luke 12:32).
