The next important check is the measure of faith. It is a study of the state of the religious life.
Measure the size of the bow. Is it to check whether the state of the spirit is normal?
All. But measuring this measure of faith is the most difficult. body or

It is possible to judge by consulting with others, but faith has no measuring instrument and no scales.
I did. Moreover, the opponent is an invisible God, unknown to anyone.
It's your own realm. Then Paul said, "Are you in the faith?
Test and prove ourselves.” How to test and how to confirm
Will there be?
First of all, the beliefs we commonly use can be divided into three categories.
1) This is a common belief: it is essential in daily life and everyone has
is that When you buy food at a restaurant, you think that the food is not spoiled
the belief that there will be no blemishes when buying things in the store, the belief that
It is the belief in the driver's driving ability when riding.
2) It is a salvationist faith.: It is a faith that accomplishes the salvation of the soul. As John 3:16 says
Anyone who believes in me will be saved, so it is given to those who believe.
3) It is a charismatic faith. : the belief that you can do what others say you can't
that is. Given the same environment and the same conditions, some people
It is frustrating and disappointing, but some people try to achieve it by trying to the end.
The faith we examine today is not a common faith, but a soteriological faith and a charismatic belief.
It is to examine the special beliefs that combine beliefs.
Jesus said in his ministry that there are three kinds of people concerning faith.
you said We may pretend to have faith in ourselves but become unbelievers.
You may have great faith, but you may become a little person. yes we
When Jesus speaks, we have to think deeply about what kind of people they belong to.
I'll do it.
1. He was said to have no faith.
There was a large crowd following Jesus, but in reality they did not believe in Jesus.
You can see that there were quite a few people.
1) You said that a positivist is a person without faith.
To believe only anything that can be seen and proven is not faith.
All. In John 20, when many disciples said they had met the risen Christ,
Ma said that he would not believe it because he was not there. Then Jesus said, "To Thomas
He said to them, "Put your finger here and see my hands, and reach out your hand and place it on my side.
Put it in, and do not become unbelievers, but believers."
He said, "Blessed are those who believe without seeing."
is. After that, Thomas was martyred for his confident faith. We humans can see
It has an instinct to believe in only things. but it's only positive
This is not faith. How many things are invisible in this world, but true
Does the award exist? Air, bacteria, thoughts, spirit, soul, etc. rather than affirmation or recognition
There may be many more impossible facts. Rather, more than the lesser than the older
You could say it's a lot more. Therefore, even if you can't see it right away and can't hold it in your hand
You have to believe in what you have. The belief that God created and operated all three things
You have to believe the truth. So Hebrews 11:1 “Faith is the substance of things hoped for,
Evidence of what you do."
2) Those who are swept away by the environment have no faith. The Sea of Galilee in Mark 4:40
When there was a storm, Jesus laid his pillow in the stern and slept in peace
You were there. But the disciples cried out that they were going to die. Jesus wakes up
He rebuked the wind and the waves and calmed them. Then he said, “How can you have faith?
Isn't it?" He rebuked him. When the sea jumped, the hearts of the disciples were also shaken.
All. When the waves rise, the thoughts of the disciples are also excited. Disciple when the boat is full of water
Their hearts were full of despair. This is because there was no faith.
Faith is overcoming circumstances./ Faith is enduring adverse conditions./ Faith is
It is against the waves./ Faith is the living life force.
Dead fish are washed away by the waves, but live fish rise against the waves.
3) Those who do not believe in power have no faith. : Matthew 13:58 "Our faith
He did not do many miracles there because he was not.” God
Those who do not believe in the power of God actually do not have faith. believe in jesus christ
I couldn't show my power in front of those who didn't. I still go to church today, but my faith is
There may be people who don't. This is a misfortune among misfortunes. faith for you
I sincerely hope that no one is missing.
2. It is said that faith grows.
It doesn't mean you don't have a lot of faith. state of belief
It means. It means that the measure of faith is not great. someone who believes
Are you a little person?
1) Those who are anxious are those who have little faith. : Matthew 6:30 "It is today, and tomorrow it is in the furnace.
If God cloths the grass of the field that is thrown in like this, how much more is it you?
Matthew 16:8 "And Jesus, knowing this, said, O you of little faith, how
Do you discuss with each other because there is no bread?” He rebuked them.
Those who worry about what to wear or what to wear have little faith. believe in jesus
But those who are caught up in the worries of the world are those who have little faith. fear of faith
It's a stumbling block. Worry is Satan's trick to take away our faith. salt
It is a hindrance to the growth of faith. Therefore, 1 Peter 5:7 "Give away all your anxieties.
Leave it to me,” he said.
2) Those who doubt are those of little faith.: In Matthew 14, Peter was walking on water.
As he was walking, he saw water and fell. In verse 31, “Jesus immediately stretched out his hand and
He took hold of him and said, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
is. After the incident of Mount Transfiguration in Matthew 17, the epileptic was brought to the disciples, but
Couldn't hit. Jesus rebuked him and said, "It is because of your little faith."
you said When the mist of doubt is obscured, faith is less. Doubt penetrates the mind
If you do this, God, who used to be only an elephant, will become as big as a mouse. If you have any doubts in your heart

it will be
2) Those who deny are said to have little faith. : In Luke 22:32, Jesus said
He said to Peter, “But I pray for you that you may not lose faith.
But, as Jesus prophesied, before the rooster crows, Peter
He denied Jesus three times. I believe this kind of faith when the circumstances are good.
And when the situation is bad, it's a belief that you don't believe well. When the circumstances are good,
It is a belief that cannot be acknowledged when it is decided and bad. Praise God when you are at peace
And when a crisis strikes, it is a faith that we deny. However, the original
It is not that there is no faith at all. It is a belief that depends on the environment. Jesus
We must become saints who do not have to worry about those who have little faith.
3. He was said to have great faith.
There is a belief that is praised. I have an exemplary belief. believe in creating miracles
There is a sound. There is a belief that is impossible. What is your belief?
1) We have faith that acknowledges the authority of Christ. : The centurion's faith in Matthew 8:10
Seeing it, Jesus said, “Nothing like this in Israel.
The belief that “I have not found faith” is truly the best faith. “Only the command
If you do, I will do it.” This faith is truly the supreme faith. The power of Christ
It is a belief that acknowledges Faith is not in isolation. Miracles are far away
is not in Where there is faith, there are miracles. Jesus' power
Have the faith to admit it. Jesus is enough to save me
is the belief in You should be blessed by saying, “Go, let it be according to your faith.”
All.
2) Persistent faith is great faith. : “Woman, great is my faith” in Matthew 15:28.
Woman! Your Faith is Great.) You yell at me because it's noisy
Faith. It is the belief that it is okay to be treated like a dog. Even if it falls from the top
It is the belief that It is the belief that I want my daughter to be healed. chase the ghost
is the belief that Then any obstacles were overcome. Any syrup won
I endured any humiliation. After that, I was also blessed that "it will be as you wish."
3) Faith in the promise is a great faith. : Romans 4:20 "Without faith, the promises of God
steadfast in the faith without doubting, glorifying God,
And I was convinced that it was able to be done.” Abraham said that God
I always believed in the promise of blessing. Believe in God's promises
A hermit is one who has strong faith. Abraham and Sarah promised a son
I believed the promise without a doubt for 25 years. A long-awaited faith is a great faith

A severe person is like a wave of the sea tossed and tossed by the wind.
Do not think that you will get anything from the Lord.”: What is the state of our faith?
