We have all been given The Measure Of Faith (Rom 12:3). It is that gift of Faith than enables us to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ through whom we receive Grace (2Pe 1:3).
Once we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, the Faith Of Christ provides all the benefits of Grace (Rom 5:2).
The Faith Of Christ is the foundation of Grace (Rom 5:19). We are not supposed to trust in our Faith but, rather, trust in the Faith Of Christ (Phi 2:8-11).
How do we overcome?
We overcome by two actions and one attitude. The two actions; 1) Jesus shed blood 2) Our testimony.
The one attitude is 1) Being willing to die for Christ's sake.
How does a person fail to overcome?
Faithfulness is a characteristic of God. If Faithfulness is not a part of our character we will deny Him eventually. A person's denial of Him will require His denial of them.
Our Testimony is critical as it is evidence of Heart Faith which is necessary for salvation.
Our hearts must be transformed by the power of the Word and the Holy Spirit.
