Unseen Goodness Is Deceiving
Have Faith To Believe What’s Real

Faith is the opposite of unbelief, we hold fast to unseen goodness. Faith chooses between the sufferings of this world and the pleasures of sin, it reconciles God’s commandment. This is the growth process that will bring one to crowning Jesus rather than themselves. They will begin to fear God, changing their allegiance to right living, believing, confiding, and trusting God. To have God in one’s heart, they must first believe that God sent his son into the world to redeem men and he requires men to accept Jesus as the Christ, they are to submit to him. Faith comes through hearing the Word of God receiving it in their heart. Fear causes one to comply too the Word, the Word is the Gospel and it is to be made known to all nations for the obedience of faith. We cannot contend for this faith if our hearts do not grow after God.

When we grow in faith we acquire a greater reverence for God, which is reverential fear; which helps us to keep his laws and commands. We will not only fear him but our heart will grow to serve him in sincerity and in truth with all our heart. How is this so? Well the fear of the Lord is wisdom and to depart from evil is understanding and God honor them that fear Him. The fear of the Lord also is clean, endures forever, he encamps his angels around you and will deliver you in the time of trouble because you trust in him and hates evil.

Ecclesiastes 12:13, fear God and keep his commandments for this is the whole duty of man. The sun of righteousness will heal your hearts. The Christian Hebrews was reproved, scolded, rebuked, reprimanded, and criticized adversely to correct their faults that they may grow in Christ. They were given warnings, earnest friendly warnings and much counsel by the men of God sent to set them straight, but over and over again they disappointed and displeased God with their failure to adhere to his commands and his Word.

The heart that never grew did not get in fellowship with God
II Corinthians 13:11, be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Our fellowship truly is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. God is light and in him is no darkness at all. When we do not grow in our heart we will say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we will lie and do not the truth.

When we get saved, what do we profess to know about Jesus.

Christ is the Apostle of our profession, the messenger sent by God to men, the great revealer of that faith which we profess to hold and of that hope which we profess to have.

1. We know Christ as Christ, anointed for the office both of Apostle and High Priest
2. We know him as the Messiah and accepts his work
3. As Jesus, our Savior, healer, the great physician of souls

And when the Christian grows in faith they realize that:
1. Christ is the master they follow
2. He is the head of the church, rightful owner and sovereign ruler
3. He is the head of the born again believer
4. He is the Eternal Son of God

When the Christian is growing in Christ they not only grow in his ways; but will be steadfast and persevere till the end. The race is not given to swift nor to the strong but to them that endure till the end, the same shall be saved. You accept salvation in the beginning but you grow through endurance to the end of your life with Christ to obtain the promise of Eternal life.
