FAITH QUOTES

quotations about faith

Faith quote

The magic key that unlocks the treasure house of infinite supply is FAITH in the almighty God whom Jesus called His Father--the Supreme Life-giver--and realization that nothing is impossible with God. Faith that He hears when you call, or ask for anything, and knowledge that it is His pleasure to give you the desires of your heart to make your life comfortable and happy. I have often said in my lectures all over the world that if the dear, precious souls who are in the poorhouses today had known the power of FAITH, they could be living in beautiful homes and have someone to take care of them if that was their desire. If they had asked God in their daily prayers to provide such homes. Instead of that, those same dear souls have told me they lived lives of fear that they would end their days in a poorhouse. Therefore there was no other place for them. They could not end their days in a rich-house when all the time they were visualizing a poorhouse.

Truth is the fulcrum of the lever, faith. Particular truths are so many polished stones, which faith builds into the wall of the spiritual temple.

What people don't realize is how much religion costs. They think faith is a big electric blanket, when of course it is the cross.

The law of faith, being a covenant of free grace, God alone can appoint what shall be necessarily believed by everyone whom He will justify. What is the faith which He will accept and account for righteousness, depends wholly on his good pleasure. For it is of grace, and not of right, that this faith is accepted. And therefore He alone can set the measures of it: and what he has so appointed and declared is alone necessary. Nobody can add to these fundamental articles of faith; nor make any other necessary, but what God himself hath made, and declared to be so. And what these are which God requires of those who will enter into, and receive the benefits of the new covenant, has already been shown. An explicit belief of these is absolutely required of all those to whom the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached, and salvation through his name proposed.

All we have gained then by our unbelief
Is a life of doubt diversified by faith,
For one of faith diversified by doubt:
We called the chess-board white -- we call it black.

Believe me, than in half the creeds.

While the object of faith, or truth to be believed, remains constant or invariable, faith itself has degrees. It may be weak or strong, and the weak as well as the strong may be saving. It is the object, not the receptive instrument, which saves. If it had been anywhere said that he who believes enough shall be saved, we might be forever doubtful whether the standard had been reached. But the promise is, "He that believeth shall be saved." A feeble hand may as effectually endorse a check for a hundred thousand pounds as the hand of a giant. The entire charge of an electro-magnetic system of batteries may be drawn out by the touch of an infant.
