Faith-Our Connector



Connected in Him
To receive Christ in your life is a divine connection. You are connected to God allmighty  through Jesus Christ. We have value and positive results because of our vital connection with Jesus. Jesus said, “Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.” (John 15:4).
Meno
Greek word for “remain” or abide is “meno” it denotes continuity, to continue be in Christ. Its a progressive term. Definitely there is a beginning point of abiding, this is called faith. We start and continue to remain in Him by faith. When we accept Christ by faith and continue to believe   Him with obedience of love we bear fruits.
In this Kingdom we live by faith.  Someone said that is not right to talk much about faith because there are other topics to be tough in this Kingdom. That is true,  but consider this scripture, “…Without faith it is impossible to please Him…” (Hebrews 11:6).  In order to please God in this Kingdom faith must be at the forefront.
Importance of Faith
You cannot live with God without faith. You cannot bear fruits without it; You cannot receive from God without faith, You cannot resist Satan without faith, you cannot  live holy life without faith, you cannot receive healing without faith, you cannot love without faith. Faith is central issue in Christianity, in fact our relationship with Jesus as Christians is called “The faith”, “And the word of God increased; and number of disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.” (Acts 6:7).
Grafted By Faith
Our connection with God is our faith, The Bible says unbelief disunited/un-grafted Israelis from God, in other words, faith would graft them with God, “ And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.” (Romans 11:23).
