Faith is the handle that helps us access what the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ has procured and made available for us. It is the work of the Holy Spirit in a believer through the agency of the word of God.
Our faith is hinged on the finished work of the cross (grace of our Lord Jesus Christ).
As clearly put in Ephesians 2:8; For by grace you have been saved through faith… This defines salvation, the divine acts of being brought into spaciousness, delivered from limitations and confinements as a by product of grace but accessed through faith. Again, according to Romans 4:16 - Therefore, [inheriting] the promise depends entirely on faith, in order that it may be given as an act of grace.
The arrangement that God has assembled for us to be schooled in this grace is through His word, the scriptures. 2 Peter 1:2 and Romans 1:17. From the scriptures we gain an in-depth knowledge of what Christs death, burial and resurrection has availed for us. Herein is our faith built. Remember that faith comes by continual interaction and hearing about the good news about the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 10:17)
Faith in the grace that has been made available establishes us in righteousness and thus we gain access to the salvation of God available in Christ Jesus. We have been translated into the kingdom of Jesus Christ, the ultimate experience of our salvation – both in the forgiveness of sins and possibility to reign in life. Romans 5:17 explains this profoundly.
We are only able to accomplish this through the precious help of the Holy Spirit. He is the Spirit of grace, Spirit is faith and Spirit of righteousness. He is our teacher and helper. By Him we grow strong in faith as He unveils the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (john 16:14).As a result we are established in righteousness and thus enter into Gods salvation.
What shall we say then. Grow stronger faith and grace in the understanding of what Christ has redeemed and made available for us – 2 Peter 3:18. For then we become true oaks of righteousness (Isaiah 61:3), immovable, bearing kingdom fruit and bringing glory to God.

This day...
esus said in John 16:14 (MSG)
But when the Friend comes, the Spirit of the Truth, he will take you by the hand and guide you into all the truth there is. He won’t draw attention to himself, but will make sense out of what is about to happen and, indeed, out of all that I have done and said. He will honor me; he will take from me and deliver it to you. Everything the Father has is also mine. That is why I’ve said, ‘He takes from me and delivers to you.’

Ponder on this verse -
My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me. Everything I have is yours' - Lk 15:31

GOD'S COVENANT OF LOVE TO YOU!

The Covenant of Love is a core biblical theme, highlighting God's steadfast and unconditional love for His people. Explicitly mentioned in scriptures like Deuteronomy 7:7-12 and Nehemiah 1:5, and echoed throughout the Bible, this covenant is rooted in the truth that God is love, and His love endures forever (1 John 4:16, Psalms 136).
The New Testament confirms this covenant through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice (1 Corinthians 11:25), showing God's unwavering commitment even when we falter (2 Timothy 2:13).
While God is always faithful, our role is to trust Him and obey His commands, activating the covenant’s blessings (John 14:21,23). This obedience is not a way to earn God's love, but it is how we live in response to His love.
Romans 8:38-39 reassures us that nothing can separate us from this God's love. This strengthens us in our spiritual journey and has become a weapon to withstand spiritual forces of wickedness that seek to intimidate and overwhelm us with fear in our walk of faith.
