Where Does Your Faith Lie

by Ariel E. Gaskill, M.S.

When we study the New Testament, we see in John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”  The Word is an archetype of Jesus. We learn early on in this book, that the Word was never separated from God the Father. The Word, along with the Holy Spirit, works in conjunction with the Father.  God is infinite. He always was. He always is, and He always will be. This is something that we as Christians are called to believe by faith.  I recently heard International  Pastor, Joseph Price (Singapore), deliver a message on faith. One profound statement he made across the pulpit was that “Faith is a revelation of Jesus.” This truth is confirmed over and over again throughout scripture. Those who dared to believe and apply the message of Jesus to their hearts; and those who had big faith, saw more of Jesus’ deity and Sovereignty when He walked among them over 2,000 years ago. What can we learn from them? The more faith we have, the more of Himself He will reveal. Why? Because He trusts us with the revelation. As we go about life, it can be easy for us to focus on works and ritual; but we must remember that without faith as the motivation, our works mean nothing. All of this begs the question - where does your faith lie?
