Believers place their faith in the God of:
Creation
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)
Salvation
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10)
Protection
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:34-39)
Wisdom
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (James 1:5)
Is the God of creation, salvation, protection, and wisdom, where we place our faith? All that we have seen this week points to that conclusion.
My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. Where do we place our faith and hope?
