Daily Bread - Oct 14 2006
Ephesians 2:8 - "For this saving grace is through faith, the gift of God, and that not of yourselves."
It is emphasized that this faith has no human origin but rather has come to us directly from God as a gift. There is only one faith, and it exists only in the realm of God. God has given us this faith by the supernatural working of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Faith takes hold of grace and submits to the power of the Holy Spirit that produces all of the will of God in our lives.
It is not faith that humanity obtains by knowledge, discipline, or works. Rather, the grace that has appeared to all men is received by the act of God's gift that is given to every man (Titus 2:11; Romans 12:3).
Blessings,

- I started this blog back in 2005, but in 2006 began dedicating it solely for the purpose of posting email messages called, Daily Bread, sent out Monday through Saturday by my pastor, Mark Spitsbergen. These daily emails contain fresh revelation that Mark gets from the Word of God by the Holy Spirit for that day for the church that God has called him to pastor, Abiding Place. 1 Peter 4:11 says, "If any man speak let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister let him do it as of the ability which God gives that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen." Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, (John 14:6), and He says, "The words that I speak to you are Spirit, and they are Life." (John 6:63). For the Word of God is quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).
