00:00:00.000 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03.360 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06.420 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09.740 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12.860 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible. Thanks.
00:00:19.660 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:22.400 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:25.400 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:30.000 When it comes to saving faith,
00:00:32.900 if you want to be saved from your sin,
00:00:36.380 if you want to be declared righteous
00:00:38.680 in the sight of God,
00:00:41.140 receive the forgiveness of sins,
00:00:44.520 you must have saving faith.
00:00:47.080 Saving faith is Christian faith.
00:00:49.060 And Christian faith has the Christian object
00:00:51.720 who is no one less than Christ Himself.
00:00:54.880 And so the faith that saves,
00:00:56.700 the type of faith, the kind, the nature of faith,
00:00:59.420 is a Christian faith. And what makes Christian faith Christian faith is that it has the Christian
00:01:05.360 object. It has Christ as the object of faith. The one that we are trusting in is the person and work
00:01:13.040 of Jesus. Now, that said, the degree of faith, the measure of faith that a person has, how strongly
00:01:20.120 they believe it matters greatly in the sight of God. But what is necessary, or we could say what
00:01:26.840 is sufficient in order for someone to be justified is not the degree of their faith, but rather the
00:01:33.200 kind, the nature of faith, which is determined by having the proper object. If you have Christ as
00:01:39.260 the object of your faith, then you have the kind of faith, the nature of faith that is Christian
00:01:44.720 faith. And Christian faith is, in fact, a saving faith. Now, Abraham, in his case, we find this
00:01:51.040 language, and we saw it last week, it's robust language that speaks to the degree, it speaks to
00:01:56.420 the strength of Abraham's faith. The language is that he did not waver, that no unbelief was able
00:02:02.740 to make him waver. Or against all hope, Abraham hoped. He had hope in the midst of no hope. Or
00:02:10.620 that Abraham was fully convinced. Have you ever had moments in your life where you wish that you
00:02:15.880 were fully convinced because in that moment you're not? Right? You're struggling with doubt. You're
00:02:20.900 wrestling through something with the Lord. You're doubting His promises. You're doubting His
00:02:25.920 character. You're doubting his power, right? That he's true, or that he's willing, or that he's able,
00:02:31.700 right? You're not fully convinced. You're not fully convinced. Well, the beauty is that in those
00:02:36.680 moments, Jesus himself says that the faith of a mustard seed has the power to move mountains,
00:02:42.520 right? Now, Jesus, to be fair, he is constantly chastising ye of little faith, and he is regularly
00:02:50.700 marveling, condoning, commending those who have great faith. But if we're speaking to the
00:02:58.540 efficacy of faith, or whether or not faith works, whether or not the faith is sufficient,
00:03:05.160 we must recognize that in biblical terms, mustard seed faith is sufficient. Mustard seed faith,
00:03:12.500 it is effective. It does, in fact, work. It is saving. Thanks so much for listening. But real 0.99
00:03:19.800 quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment, and leave us a five-star review if you
00:03:25.540 enjoyed the show. This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us get this biblically
00:03:31.000 faithful content to as many people as possible. Thanks so much.
