1-EXAMINE YOURSELVES

    The Scriptures tell each person to examine themselves. Test themselves to see if they are really in the faith.
    It is written, 2 Cor 13:5-EXAMINE YOURSELVES, WHETHER YE BE IN THE FAITH; PROVE YOUR OWN SELVES. KNOW YE NOT YOUR OWN SELVES, HOW THAT JESUS CHRIST IS IN YOU, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES?

2-THEY SOUGHT SALVATION BY WORKS, BUT NOT BY FAITH

    Because they sought salvation but not through faith, they perish. There is only one way. It is through faith in Jesus Christ.
    Ro 9:32-BECAUSE THEY SOUGHT IT NOT BY FAITH…THEY STUMBLED AT THAT STUMBLING-STONE (which is Jesus).

3-SHALL THEIR UNBELIEF MAKE GOD’S WORD OF NO EFFECT?

    Many people do not believe the Bible. They do not believe in the Jesus of the Bible.
    It is written, Ro 3:3-FOR WHAT IF SOME DID NOT BELIEVE? SHALL THEIR UNBELIEF MAKE THE FAITH OF GOD WITHOUT EFFECT?

4-FAITH IS PRECIOUS AND HOLY

    In 2 Pet 1:1, we see the words-PRECIOUS FAITH; and in Jude 20-MOST HOLY FAITH. As God’s Word tells us, our faith is to be centered on Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son. True faith is very precious and most holy.

5-THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH

    The born-again Christian is to live and walk by faith. As a person’s faith grows, their understanding and reliance on Jesus should grow. More and more and ever increasing, the new Christian should live and walk by faith.
    2 Cor 5:7-FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT.
    Gal 3:11-THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.
    Heb 10:38-tells us, NOW THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.
  
Ro 1:17-AS IT IS WRITTEN, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.

6-WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN

    It is not possible to please God without faith. In addition, whatsoever we do that is not of faith is sin.
    It is written, Heb 11:6-BUT WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM.
    Ro 14:23-FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN.

7-FAITH PROMPTS US TO SERVE GOD

    All of God’s people are called to serve Him. We are told in Eph 2:10-FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, Christ’s workmanship, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD HATH BEFORE ORDAINED THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM.
    So what prompts us to work for Jesus? It is our faith. If a person will not serve Jesus, it is good evidence they have little or no faith. If they are fully committed to serving Jesus and are able to endure much hardships, it can be an indication of much faith.
    As Phili 2:17 tells us-the SERVICE OF YOUR FAITH; and 1 Thes 1:3-YOUR WORK OF FAITH, or (NIV) WORK PRODUCED BY FAITH, YOUR LABOR PROMPTED BY LOVE, AND YOUR ENDURANCE INSPIRED BY HOPE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
    2 Thes 1:11-THE WORK OF FAITH (or act prompted by your faith-NIV).
    2 Cor 4:13-WE HAVING THE SAME SPIRIT OF FAITH, ACCORDING AS IT IS WRITTEN, I BELIEVED, AND THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN; WE ALSO BELIEVE, AND THEREFORE SPEAK.
    Let us not forget that the evidence of salvation is "fruit"-ref Mt 7:20.

8-THE EVIDENCE OF FAITH

    Paul wanted to know the people’s faith.
    Here are given four evidences of a right attitude, which should come forth from faith.
    1Thes 3:6-BUT NOW WHEN TIMOTHEUS CAME FROM YOU UNTO US, AND BROUGHT US GOOD TIDINGS OF YOUR
    A-FAITH AND
    B-CHARITY (or love),
    C-AND THAT YE HAVE GOOD REMEMBRANCE OF US ALWAYS,
    D-DESIRING GREATLY TO SEE US, AS WE ALSO TO SEE YOU.

9-SEEING THEIR FAITH

    The Scriptures show us that faith can be seen and perceived.
    Mt 9:2-AND, BEHOLD, THEY BROUGHT TO HIM A MAN SICK OF THE PALSY, LYING ON A BED: AND JESUS SEEING THEIR FAITH SAID UNTO THE SICK OF THE PALSY; SON, BE OF GOOD CHEER; THY SINS BE FORGIVEN THEE.
    Mk 2:5-WHEN JESUS SAW THEIR FAITH, HE SAID UNTO THE SICK OF THE PALSY, SON, THY SINS BE FORGIVEN THEE.
    Lk 5:20-AND WHEN HE SAW THEIR FAITH, HE SAID UNTO HIM, MAN, THY SINS ARE FORGIVEN THEE.
    Acts 14:9-THE SAME HEARD PAUL SPEAK: WHO STEDFASTLY BEHOLDING HIM, AND PERCEIVING THAT HE HAD FAITH TO BE HEALED.

10-EVERY PERSON A MEASURE OF FAITH

    God gives to every person a measure of faith.
    Ro 12:3-FOR I SAY, THROUGH THE GRACE GIVEN UNTO ME, TO EVERY MAN THAT IS AMONG YOU, NOT TO THINK OF HIMSELF MORE HIGHLY THAN HE OUGHT TO THINK; BUT TO THINK SOBERLY, ACCORDING AS GOD HATH DEALT TO EVERY MAN THE MEASURE OF FAITH.
    Ro 12:6-HAVING THEN GIFTS DIFFERING ACCORDING TO THE GRACE THAT IS GIVEN TO US, WHETHER PROPHECY, LET US PROPHESY ACCORDING TO THE PROPORTION OF FAITH.
    It may be said, when combining all the Scriptures on "faith," that it is of God and depends solely on the initial moving of God. It involves the Divine influence upon an individual’s heart and then the individual’s response to receive God’s Word into his heart by faith.

11-LOVE WITH FAITH

    Over and over, the Scriptures combine faith and love together. Love is so important that no matter how much faith a person has, if he does not have love, he is nothing. No matter how much faith a person has, if they do not love God and their brothers in Christ, they are not saved. The Scriptures convey to us that God’s children are to also love their enemies. Love is so important that the Scriptures tell us that faith works by love.
    Gal 5:6-FOR IN JESUS CHRIST NEITHER CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH ANY THING, NOR UNCIRCUMCISION; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE.
    The person that does not have love is nothing. It is written, 1 Cor 13:2-AND THOUGH I HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY, AND UNDERSTAND ALL MYSTERIES, AND ALL KNOWLEDGE; AND THOUGH I HAVE ALL FAITH, SO THAT I COULD REMOVE MOUNTAINS, AND HAVE NOT CHARITY (or love), I AM NOTHING.

    Note how the following verses combine love and faith in various ways.
    Col 1:4-SINCE WE HEARD OF YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS, AND OF THE LOVE WHICH YE HAVE TO ALL THE SAINTS.
    Eph 1:15-WHEREFORE I ALSO, AFTER I HEARD OF YOUR FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS, AND LOVE UNTO ALL THE SAINTS.
    Eph 3:17-THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS BY FAITH; THAT YE, BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE.
    Eph 6:23-PEACE BE TO THE BRETHREN, AND LOVE WITH FAITH, FROM GOD THE FATHER AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
    Phile 1:5-HEARING OF THY LOVE AND FAITH, WHICH THOU HAST TOWARD THE LORD JESUS, AND TOWARD ALL SAINTS.
    1Thes 5:8-BUT LET US, WHO ARE OF THE DAY, BE SOBER, PUTTING ON THE BREASTPLATE OF FAITH AND LOVE; AND FOR AN HELMET, THE HOPE OF SALVATION.
    1 Tim 1:14-AND THE GRACE OF OUR LORD WAS EXCEEDING ABUNDANT WITH FAITH AND LOVE WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS.
    Titus 3:15-ALL THAT ARE WITH ME SALUTE THEE. GREET THEM THAT LOVE US IN THE FAITH.

12-REPENTANCE AND FAITH

    The Scriptures also connect repentance and faith together.
    Acts 20:21-TESTIFYING BOTH TO THE JEWS, AND ALSO TO THE GREEKS, REPENTANCE TOWARD GOD, AND FAITH TOWARD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

13-OBEDIENCE

    Obedience is a result or product of faith (obedience of faith). We may expect if there is little faith, there will be little obedience. In place of little obedience, often comes many excuses.
    Ro 16:26-ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT OF THE EVERLASTING GOD, MADE KNOWN TO ALL NATIONS FOR (or leading to) THE OBEDIENCE OF FAITH.
    God would have us to be "obedient to the faith." Indeed, we receive grace for obedience to the faith.
    Acts 6:7-AND THE WORD OF GOD INCREASED; AND THE NUMBER OF THE DISCIPLES MULTIPLIED IN JERUSALEM GREATLY; AND A GREAT COMPANY OF THE PRIESTS WERE OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH.
    Ro 1:5-BY WHOM WE HAVE RECEIVED GRACE AND APOSTLESHIP, FOR OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH AMONG ALL NATIONS, FOR HIS NAME.

14-BE FOLLOWERS OF THEM OF FAITH, WHO HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU THE WORD OF GOD

    The Scriptures tell us to be followers of or imitate those, who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised-ref Heb 6:12 NIV.
    Heb 6:12-THAT YE BE NOT SLOTHFUL, BUT FOLLOWERS OF THEM WHO THROUGH FAITH AND PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES.
    Heb 13:7-REMEMBER THEM (your leaders) WHICH HAVE THE RULE OVER YOU, WHO HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU THE WORD OF GOD: WHOSE FAITH FOLLOW, CONSIDERING THE END OF THEIR CONVERSATION (consider the outcome of their way of life-NIV).

15-THE SAINTS CAN DO WHAT?

    Ja 1:6-ASK IN FAITH.

16-JOY COMES FROM FAITH

    It is written, Phili 1:25-JOY OF FAITH.

17-WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF FAITH? WHAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF FAITH?

    We may ask, "What is the importance of faith? What can happen as a result of faith?"
    A further illustration of the importance of faith comes to us in the following verses. Please note the underlined key words in these verses that appear in alphabetical sequence.
