Saving Knowledge

“No man knoweth the Father, save the Son and he to whom the Son will reveal Him” | Matthew 11: 27

Men may believe in God, but there is no way that they can know the living God except in Christ.

“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4: 6)

They may know of His existence, but His essence and glory are only revealed in Christ.

They may know of His works, but His will and wisdom are only seen in Christ.

They may know of His power, but His purpose and decrees are only revealed in Christ.

They may be acquainted with His miracles, but His mercy and grace are only received in Christ.

They may behold His judgments, but His justice satisfied and honored is only revealed in Christ.

“For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” (2 Timothy 1: 12)

If we miss a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus, we may talk of God all our lives and never really know Him.

A Man Is Justified By Faith

“Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” | Romans 3: 28

Most preachers, church members, and Bible teachers agree with this statement, “A man is justified by faith.”

But when we define, from the Scriptures, what Paul is actually saying here, we have great disagreement.

“John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:” (Luke 3: 16)

1.) WHO JUSTIFIES? “It is God that justifieth.” Salvation is of the Lord from origination to consummation.

2.) WHOM DOES HE JUSTIFY? “The ungodly.” There are not a lot of folks standing in line to take this title unto themselves.

3.) HOW DOES HE JUSTIFY? “By grace through faith in Christ.” His blood and righteousness is our peace and holiness. By His doing and dying He – alone – enables God to be just and justifier!

4.) WHERE DOES SAVING FAITH COME FROM? “It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.”

Yes!

I do believe a man is justified by faith!
