(Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith. . . .”)

(2nd Timothy 3:12-15 “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”)

(Prophesied: Isaiah 40:28-31 “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”)

17:14-20 “. . . If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

John 20 24-27 “Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.”

The Lord Responds Favorably To Faith:

vs. 20-22 “. . . and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.”
