UNDERSTANDING WHAT FAITH IS. Part 54.

Galatians 3:8, 11-12 (KJV) And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed....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. 12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

54. The justification work of the blood of Jesus gives us a new life where we become a brand new person in our spirit and we become as one who had never existed before and one who has no past. Where sins are not cleansed such as in the old testament and under the law every one had a past and therefore could not be justified and declared just and qualified to have faith, walk by faith or live by faith. Only the just who has no past of sins and unrighteousness can have faith and live by faith.

Under the law nothing could take away their sins in fact in those animal sacrifices were a constant reminder to God and the people of their sins and that they were sinners. Where there's sin and unrighteousness there could be no justification. God is only the justifier of those whose sins were fully remitted forever in Christ Jesus. The blood of Jesus cleanses eternally not temporarily. Only those with eternal redemption can be justified and only they can have faith. No sinner or unrighteous can be called a son of God. No sinner or unrighteous can have an inheritance in Christ Jesus. Faith is based on heirship and inheritance.

In this new justified life we have been given a new nature that has no trace or memory of any sins we had ever committed. 2Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." No son of Adam can be justified or be just, only the sons of God in Christ Jesus. No Nigerian or American or Australian or any nationality can be justified or just, only members of the new nation called the Church who are members of the body of Christ. In this new nationality the blood of Jesus washes us into a brand new life that has no record anywhere of our past.

Justification accounts you as innocent as a new born baby. A new born baby has no past but the past of his parents. As new born babes in Christ we have no past but Christ. That is why to enjoy justification God demands that you must be born again (anew). John 3:3 (KJV) "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." As born again in Christ he is a new creature, old things are past away forever, all things are now new and all things are of God. Even as the bible says John 1:12-13 (KJV) "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." Only those who are born of God, having the life of God and the faith nature of God can be called the just and can live by faith. No one had these qualities in the old testament and under the law. Grace be with you. John 3:3-8; 1Peter 1:23; 2:2,9; Ephesians 1:3; 2:1-9; 4:24; Colossians 2:10,14; Romans 3:20-28; 8:14-17; 12:1-3; 2Corinthians 5:7,21; Galatians 3:16-29; 4:1-7; Hebrews 9:26-28; 10:1-18; 1Timothy 1:9-10; 1Corinthians 3:21-23; 2Peter 1:2-4;

If you need healing the bible says in Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area of your body and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Heaven is real, Hell is real. Jesus is coming very soon. Judgement Day is coming. But you can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: Father God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed the prayer of Salvation, pls go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus. Grace be with you. To Jesus be all the glory.
