“To them which have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” II Peter 1: 1 The word “obtain” is unique in its scriptural application, which defined by the English language means: “to attain, possess, or gain.” In...
When a sinner is drawn to Christ its synonymous with being given the gift of faith or believing on Christ. This is taught in scripture because those who are drawn come to Christ Jn 6:44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last...
When Christ stated that it was His mission to give eternal life to as many as the Father hath given Him Jn 17:2-3
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only...
Jn 1:12-13
12 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:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Col 2:6
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord...

13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 39
God gives His Chosen the Gift of Faith when He gives them His Spirit 2 Thess 2:13
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
Phil 1:29
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
To believe on Him for all of Salvation:
Faith/believing is given when God draws His sheep to Christ and teaches us in the newly created heart who Christ is and what...
Faith is the Gift of God lest we have occasion to boast ! Eph 2:8
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
1 Corinthians 4: 7: Who maketh thee to differ from another? And what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive...
Once again, another scripture that is indicative of Faith having been wrought in us by God, its when men come[by Faith] to the light Jn 3:19-21
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For...
Faith pleases God Heb 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
The reason why Faith pleases God is because Faith is wrought into the Elect by God, Heb 13:20-21
20 Now...
If we believe that Jesus Christ died for everyone, then thats not Faith in Christ. The Christ in scripture is the One who laid down His Life for His Sheep Jn 10:11,15
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the...
Mercy on a person imprisoned in unbelief is the mercy of the regenerating and renewing work of the Spirit, giving that unbeliever spiritual life and faith to reverse their unbelief Titus 3:5-6
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the...
There is simply is no other way to come to believe on Christ apart from God having mercy Rom 11:30
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
They came to believe because they obtained mercy from God. Paul believed in Christ because he...
It requires mercy to believe in Christ and the True God, its not something man can do naturally. The reason why it is necessary is because we are imprisoned in unbelief. Paul makes that clear here Rom 11:32
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
The...
Faith to believe on Christ is one of the Mysteries of Godliness 1 Tim 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Man cannot...
Faith is not of ourselves, it is the gift of God, Eph 2 8; but it is also the procuration of Christ’s blood, and is certainly put in the hearts of the redeemed by the Holy Spirit, on the account of the Father’s election and Christ’s redemption, Titus i. 1; therefore it is called "the faith of...
Do you all confess that by nature men are dead in sin and alienated from the life of God ?
Eph 2:1,5
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)
Eph 4:18
Having the...
To believe on Christ is an evidenced that one is in a saved blessed state already Jn 20:29
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Faith to believe in Christ is given by the victorious Christ to His People He won the victory for, by His Suretyship obedience for them. 1 Jn 5:4
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Plainly Faith cometh from...
