Precious Faith

”And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.” | Acts 18: 5

That precious, saving faith which unites the sinner to Christ also unites the sinner to all those who belong to Christ.

To be one with Him is to be one with them.

Loving and serving Him has something to do with loving and serving them; and loving and serving them has something to do with loving and serving Him.

Saving faith says that there is one Savior.

Saving faith also says that there is one household, one family, one body, one vine tree, etc.

“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” (John 15: 5)

Words About Our Faith

”Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.” | Romans 9: 27-29

Strange to say, the faith of Christians is a person.

You may ask all other religions wherein their faith lieth, and they cannot answer on this wise.

Our faith is a person; the gospel that we have to preach is a person, and go wherever you may, we have something solid and tangible to preach. If you had asked the twelve apostles, in their day: “What do you believe in?” they would not have needed to go round about with a long reply, but they would have pointed to their Master and they would have said: “We believe in Him.”

“But what are your doctrines?” “There they stand incarnate.”

“But what is your practice?” “He is our example.”

“What, then, do you believe?” Hear ye the glorious answer of the apostle Paul: “We preach Christ crucified.”

Our creed, our body of divinity, our whole theology is summed up in the person of Jesus Christ.

The apostle preached doctrine, but the doctrine was Christ.

He preached practice but the practice was all in Christ.

There is no summary of the faith of a Christian that can compass all he believes, except that word – Christ; and that is the Alpha and Omega of our creed, that is the first and last rule of our practice – Christ, and Him crucified.

To spread the faith, then, is to spread the knowledge of Christ crucified; it is in fact, to bring men, through the agency of God’s Spirit, to feel their need of Christ, to seek Christ, to believe in Christ, to love Christ, and then to live for Christ.
