What is the Law of Faith.

Paul writes about faith in Romans 3:27 “Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? Nay But by the law of faith.” 

We are told that we receive blessing predicated upon the law by which they are given. It is such a comfort to know that that God is so organized, and that His church is also organized. There is nothing haphazard about the gospel. They say it is so simple that even a child can understand it and yet we swallow a mountain and cough at an ant. Some say that things just happened without rhyme or reason, but reason tells us that things came about by laws. I don’t know all the laws but I keep finding them as I read the scriptures.

So I don’t know exactly how the earth was formed but maybe it happened like this. Maybe there was an asteroid floating through space and because it is cold in space the asteroid was covered in ice. Maybe it accidently got caught in the pull of a sun, or maybe it was moved there by a being that knew the laws of the universe and knew how to move floating rocks around – Someone who understood the law of gravity and had the power.  When the rock came close to the sun the ice melted. Well, we can read the book of Genesis to find out what happened.  Nature is full of laws. Does water flow uphill?  No. the law says water seeks its own level.

 “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidences of things not seen.”  (Hebrews 11:1) But what is the law of faith?  How does it work and what does it do. What good is it? Maybe we will learn as we study more about this overworked word. James 2: 17 - 18 says “faith , if it hath not works is dead, being alone… Shew me thy faith without thy works and I will show thee my faith by my works.”   So faith is an action verb and results in some activity. If you have the faith of a mustard seed the Lord said, you can do miracles. Perhaps that is the law of faith. If you plant it, and nurture it, it will grow. And what does it grow into? Knowledge. You start with believing that Jesus is the Christ and if you nurture that belief and don’t let it die it can grow in to knowledge that Jesus Is the Christ. I know without a shadow of a doubt, totally and absolutely that God lives.
