" And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, 'Abraham believed God, and it wasaccounted to him for righteousness.' And he was called the friend of God."James 2: 23
Faith in practice makes a person justified, pure, and worthy of divine blessings. This is so because faith is nothing more than dependence on God. That's why Abraham was God's friend.
Hello Mrs.Ester,
ReplyDeleteYes only by faith we will receive what we ask of God,by faith we are justified and worthy of his blessings,and we must always depend on God in everything.
Thank you so much Mrs.Ester.
May God bless you much more.
Hi Mrs. Ester,

In everything that we will do we must only depend on our LORD that even if it is impossible for us but for GOD nothing is impossible.
Thank you so much for sharing this to us Mrs. Ester!

Very strong message Mrs Ester,
ReplyDeleteno matter the situation,when we use our fath and put our dependence only on God,He justifies us and we become wothy of His blessings.

Thanks for your daily inspiring messages Mrs. Ester!
ReplyDeleteDependence of God makes us close to Him in every way and that makes us His friend! In order for that to happen we must have faith and put it into action! Depending on God every instance of our lives, every single day requires that faith since many times we go through situations where it is easier to just upon what we see around us instead of depending on Him by faith.
Mrs.Ester i want to depend on God whole heartedly.i see that i can only do that by faith and everythng else will be justified by God through my righteous ways and faith.i will be blessed beyond material thngs if i live by Gods faith and be His friend,yho that is truly a divine blessing to be Gods friend.thank u
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs Esther this is a very strong message. God is giving us the opportunity to be able to be His friend. Of course not everyone can be satisfied with it, few actually. I believe only those who proves your faithfulness and dependence to Him , is the one who does not live by circunstances of life, but who lives founded on rock that is the Lord Jesus and not fall apart even with the wind or the storm. Thank you for having shared this message with us.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mrs Ester.
ReplyDeleteWhen we live by faith, we automatically have an intimacy with God, about to become a friend of God and worthy to receive their blessings in our lives.
Kisses,Mrs Ester.
Hello Mrs Ester,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the message....everything is possible when we use our faith.When we use faith we are please God. I want also that previlage to be called God's friend. Thats why I will keep my precious faith in God.
Friend:Abraham, he is a good example for us. Because of his faith and trust in God. God called him to be His friend.
ReplyDeleteGod give us opportunity to have the same spirit of Abraham. But its up to us choose. If we will remain faithful to God. No matter what happen for sure He will called us to be His friend.
Thank you so much Mrs. Ester.
Saying we have faith is one thing, proving it through our actions is another. I think that a person who believes in God will be just one more believer until he or she truly puts their faith to the test, proving to God that they're depending on Him because that's when they become a "partner" or as the bible says of Abraham, a "friend" of God's.
ReplyDeleteMany times we expect to be justified by our holiness. We think that because we are holy, we live a righteous life, we deserve to receive God's blessings, without fighting and applying our faith to conquer them. But, as we see with the example of Moses, whom God considered a friend, but when he failed to believe in God, God declared that he wouldn't enter the promised land. When he stopped believing, his friendship with God became compromised. We are only justified before God by our faith.
ReplyDeleteWhen we depend on God and do and live his will.
ReplyDeleteThat’s what Abraham did, and he is a true example for us to live by.
Faith makes us closer to God…
