Without faith it is impossible to please God, Heb 11:6. Anyone who wants to please God must use faith to please Him. So since it is impossible to please God without faith I thought I would do a little study of the Holy Scriptures to determine what real faith is and what it is not. Faith First you have to hear a message (Rom 10:7-17)


How do you hear?

Rom 10:14, How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of who they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?


God does not preach the good news of salvation in Christ through angels or from speaking from heaven but through the mouths of men.


Mathew 7:24, Jesus said, therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock


What do you hear?

Rom 10:17, faith comes from hearing and hearing from the word of God

Mathew 4:4, but he (Jesus) answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God

Luke 11:28, but he (Jesus) said, blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it

How to determine truth from error?

Mark 7:09,13, and he(Jesus) said unto them, full well you reject the commandment of God that you may keep your own tradition. 13, Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which you have delivered and many such like things do you

Mark 16:20, and they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following, amen (may it be so)

1 Cor 1:6, even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you


When there is confusion about the truth from God, then ask God to confirm His word of truth so that you will not be led astray. He did it for the first people that became Christians and there is no reason He will not do it now.

He that have ears let him hear…Jesus the Christ the only Fathered of our Creator…who died on the cross and was raised from the dead so you could be reconciled to God. Here is the Holy Prophet Isaiah description of Jesus…


Isaiah 53:3-6 He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.


Jesus became the Author of Salvation to all those whom obey Him and began a New Agreement between God and creation that works salvation, reconciliation, and redemption called the New Testament of Christ. https://www.e-sword.net/downloads.html


Hebrews 5:8-9 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered 9 and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation


Father, help us make Jesus smile not cry…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.


Acts 22:7-8 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecute you me? 8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecute.




Jesus was punished as if He broke all Ten Commandments for each sinner that has sinned…though He never did a wrong thing.

Exodus 20:3-17:

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth…

3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain

4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy

5. Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

6. Thou shalt not kill.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

8. Thou shalt not steal.

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor

10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s.

Hebrews 5:8-9 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Mark 16:15-19 And he said unto them… Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

Ephesians 3:14-21 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
