Show us the Father

"Jesus said to him, 'Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, show us the Father'?" John 14.9

Those who are on the Lord Jesus must, as a rule, exude His perfume, have His image and manifest His character. If someone claims to have the Holy Spirit but does not reflect the image of God, he deceives himself.

SUPERNATURAL FAITH

"Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”    Mark 9.23

Even unbelievers know that all things are possible to him who believes.
But only a few know that there is an exception to this rule: eternal salvation.
It is impossible for someone to be saved because of their merits. Otherwise, the Son of God would not have come down to earth.

He knows the heart

"Then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know, for You alone know the hearts of the sons of men." 2 Chronicles 6.30

The Lord knows the hearts' of men. He knows it is corrupt and deceitful by nature. However,  He shows mercy to those who are humble enough to confess and abandon their mistakes and sins.

THE GLORY OF MAN

"Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and know Me, judgement and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight, says the Lord."     Jeremiah 9:23-24

The glory of man comes from knowing the Lord Jesus Christ. Who will introduce Him? Religions? The religious? The wise men? Who will introduce Jesus to mankind? 
Only the Holy Spirit is able to do that. This is why we need to seek Him with all our strength, all our heart and all our understanding.

SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

"But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow like stall-fed calves."   Malachi 4:2

Those who are born of God possess a priceless joy. Their separation from the world is reflected in their communion with the Almighty. They sing like birds at daybreak, jump through meadows like animals running freely... It is all for the glory of the Lord of your life.

The Will of God

... continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Philippians 2.13

To work on our salvation means to take care of it daily. It's from the progress of salvation that we find out the will of God. And, once practiced, one will eat the best in this earth.

Perseverance

"I know your works, your labour and your perseverance, and how you can not bear men that are evil: and you have tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars; and you have perseverance and have endured for My name sake, and have not grown weary." Revelation 2:2-3

Jesus reveals to the Apostle John that He holds His servants in His Hands: pastors that are at His disposal in the preaching of His Word. He says that He walks among the seven gold candlesticks - a symbol of the seven types of people that serve Him; people that were bought with His blood and are therefore priceless in value before Him. At the end, He praises those who persevere and don't give up, even in the face of difficulty.

We honour a just God, Who appreciates faithful children that persevere.
