Vernon Davis Power of Faith

Annotation

The Power of FaithFirst, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all that your faith is spoken ofthroughout the whole world. For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his son, that withoutceasing I make mention of You always in my prayers. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. For it is the power of God unto salvationto everyone that believeth, to the Jew fi rst and also the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: As it is written, thejust shall live by Faith. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. God is faithful bywhom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; but in the power of God. But as it is written, eye hath nor seen, nor heard, neither have entered into the heart ofman, the thing which God hath prepare for them that love Him. Therefore we are always confi dent. Because we walk by faith not by sight. We are confi dent, I say and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be presentwith the Lord. Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature old things are passed away, behold,all things are become new. Therefore as ye abound in everything, in faith and utterance, and knowledge and in alldiligence, and in your love to us see that ye abound in this grave also. And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who hath enabled me for that he counted me faithful,putting me into that ministry. And the grace of the Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying, and worth of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into theworld to save sinners; of whom I am chief. Holding faith and a good conscience which some having put away concerning faith hasmade shipwrecks.
