CONTENDING FOR THE FAITH, THE PATHWAY OF SONSHIP.


Dear friends, I've dropped everything to write you about this life of salvation that we have in common. I have to write insisting — begging! — that you fight with everything you have in you for this faith entrusted to us as a gift to guard and cherish. Jude1:3 TMB.

Brother Jude said we have to contend for this faith. God has given to everyman the measure of faith. This faith was what Jesus showed with His walk on the earth and eventually purchased it with His own blood on the cross.

By the reason of His resurrection, pave way for an advance inauguration of the faith of the Son. No man had ever seen that kind of faith before that time, for it is no longer the faith to get things. Undoubtedly, this faith is the revelation of the righteousness of God which is the instrument of our glorification. Paul was able to spell it
out when he said I am not shamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation unto every one that believes for therein is the righteousness of God reveal from faith to faith Romans 1:16-17. It is a blessing to know that this faith reveals eternal life and releases righteousness of the Godhead. This faith is the gospel of Christ and it is what saves our souls unto eternal life as we journey to immortality and we cannot be indifferent to the adversary who wants to infiltrate the liberty that this faith has won for us.

We are entrusted with this faith which is a tool in the hand of God to carve His Son Jesus Christ into our personality that is our soul. The essence is that we should live just like His Son and is important we know that the plan of the adversary is to raise men to disobey faith which is capable of bringing men into sonship. The operation of the faith of the Son is not just the popular faith towards God to get things but is in giving life, life eternal.

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life. Romans 2:7. It is in giving the very substance of God; Christ in us the hope of glory. Is pretty easy to have faith towards God, -the believing faith to receive the hand blessings of God than to earnestly contend for the faith of the Son which brings the salvation of our souls. Having the faith to receive miracle is not enough. We must press on to receive all the inclusive revelation of the word of righteousness to gain great stature in the Spirit and to annihilate the weaponry of death programme. If there is anything to contend for in this present time is the eternal faith entrusted us. Allow faith and the effective work of grace in you to resist the adversary even to the shedding of blood. Hence, contending for the faith is equally the pathway of sonship. May the good Lord give us understanding Amen.

However, the sentiment, the conviction, and the commitment stay strong for our Creator and Blessed Sovereign Lord in the vivid Presence and Guidance of His Holy Spirit! Praises for His precepts, grace, and encouragement while surrendering and obeying. <3 +
