How
Does One Come to Have Faith?
Bible
Verses
Rom 10:17 So faith comes out of hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
5:1 Therefore having been justified out of faith, we have peace toward God
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Words
of Ministry
In any proper gospel preaching there should be ... a transfusion, the
transfusion of Christ into people. Whenever we preach the gospel of Jesus Christ
in a normal way, there will be an appearing of the living Christ, and this
appearing will transfuse Christ into people.
When I was nineteen years old, the Lord sent a young sister to my town to preach
the gospel. I was curious to see her. As I sat in the meeting place and heard
her singing and speaking, the glory of God appeared, and I was attracted. No one
had to convince me to believe. As I listened to her, God transfused Himself into
me, and this transfusion overwhelmed and conquered me, causing a very positive
reaction. Coming out of the meeting hall and walking along the road, I lifted up
my eyes to the heavens and said, “God, You know I am an ambitious young man.
But, even if the people promise me the whole world to be my empire, I would
refuse it. I want to take You. From this day onward I want to serve You. I would
like to be a poor preacher going from village to village, telling people how
good Jesus is.” In this way [of
gospel preaching] the living Jesus was transfused into my being. Immediately I
reacted to God, and God reacted back to me. My reaction to God was my believing
in Him. That was my faith. God's reaction back to me was to justify me, to give
His righteousness with peace and joy to me. I had been justified by God. God had
called me out of everything other than Himself. Amen.
