What is the faith of Christ? But first, what is Christ other than a body of individuals. Christ isn't some airy-fairy.ethereal energy. What then?

How does one get this faith of Christ?.Galatians 2:16.

Matthew 17:20 "...If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place and it shall remove and nothing will be impossible unto you."

What draws an individual to the point of considering higher consciousness things, to accept them and want them to affect his or her life, so that life goes much better for them? It's believing that things will be better, otherwise why would you ever even consider it? 

Higher consciousness things are above what he or she has been used to relying upon to get by in life:.John 6:44 "No one can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him..."

The individual comes to see that the things of the world come with an eventual negative downside:.2Corinthians 4:4; 6:17.

Rather than listening to faith, some religious individuals listen to fear and therein is their limitation. How to walk on the better road.

Christ is both the author and finisher of faith:.Hebrews 4:3; 4:11; 10:19,20; 12:2; Daniel 9:23,24. To be both its author and finisher regarding you, it must be in you and you in it. If it's finishing faith, it must be on those humans who want to be.His.workmanship:.Ephesians 2:10. This is put into practice by walking on the better road.

And they are those who are open-minded to the free gift of faith:.Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves.(it's saying that any faith you have is of God, not some bootstrap philosophy you may have accepted); it is the gift of God."

And like any gift it's useless until it's used. Use it and it'll take you up onto the better road of life. One of the gifts God the Father has given us is money. 

How to use gifts God has given.

If He's the author.of faith, then man really can't add anything to what He has already authored, in fact can't add anything to what Christ has already done for each of us as a gift:.Romans 3:22,24-28; 11:30-32. All man can do with a gift is use it or ignore it.

Comprised from Mike Williams website, gospelrevolution.com Website is about information on the true Gospel: 

'Emmanuel was successful in his mission on Earth! Because he was such a success, you.are.perfect, holy, righteous and sinless, because of having been aligned with what God is and that's love.(1John 4:8,16).and that's done for you, all thanks to what Christ had done:.John 10:15,17,18; 1John 3:16. It's your appreciation of it that makes it effective for you. After all, what good are God's gifts if they aren't used? Don't be like the close-minded ancients who wanted nothing to do with God or any gifts from Him:.Jeremiah 44;16,17.

And so is everybody else perfect, holy, righteous and sinless regarding how God now considers them! But most have yet to know this and not knowing it is the same as not having it, because it's not in use.

So there is no compulsionany longer toward our faith.(if we ever thought that we had an amount of effective faith on our own anyhow), toward our prayer.(our thoughts of considerateness for others are our prayers about and for their concerns), tithes, church attendance.(because one feels it's pleasing to God and good for their own spirituality or for this:.Hebrews 10:25), repentance and/or confession from a human being who may feel he is in need of these things; this too is finished:.Hebrews 6:1,2. The ancients stupidly and  stubbornly wanted their own way. This made them unable to effectively listen to anything that may have been better for them.

All the spiritual works you could ever do, have been done and completed by Christ. It's His faith in the Father that counts for you. And so you can now rest in blessed assurance:.Matthew 11:28.29 "Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and.learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart and you shall find rest unto your souls."

It is already.all finished!.John 17:4; 19:30. And it was all finished even before we came to be on the Earth:.2Timothy 1:9. But being here unawakened to that, left us at the low consciousness realm, leaving us with a propensity toward the negative, in turn which provided for life filled with heartaches, lacks and loss; however, that being a pathway for awhile, as it was of necessary to be on the alert for something that may come along making life better. Some clue into that a lot don't see. 

Why was it that way? We learn by contrasts. And so we go through this thing called life with a faint hope that something better would eventually be our experience:.Acts 17:30; 1Timothy 2:4. 

Problem was, that because this something better was new to us, like all new things, when we are prompted about it, we approach it with apprehension, rather than with faith, being the assurance that what prompts we hear, are good. And to know if they are good, one has to determine prompts coming to the mind which aren't good. See notes at.Joshua 6:17.

'Emmanuel fulfilled all faith, all of the law, all Bible prophecy, all of God's righteousness.(Matthew 3:15).and took all of God's anger, wrath and judgment on the cross. You are never separated.(Hebrews 13:5).from God.no matter what you do, have done, think or feel or may do in the future. Only in your mind this may carry some weight and in your physical life, we all reap what we may have sown, but there's no spiritual weight against you, nor ever was:.2Timothy 1:9. God is always all for you. Grab that mentally and you'll move forward in all ways. This is the good news, the meaning of the word gospel. Well, where is God then?

Keeping ourselves in the faith of Christ is important to remain within high consciousness living and bringing a reward:.Revelation 14:12 "Here is the patience of the saints; here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Emmanuel." 1Peter 1:18-23 "Forasmuch as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things...but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God...that your faith and hope might be in God. Seeing you have purified your souls in harkening to the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that you love one another with a pure heart fervently, being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides for ever."

One is built up by the faith Christ is working in us:.Jude 1:20. Why?.Ephesians 3:12.

Sincere seekers are advised to maintain higher consciousness:.1Timothy 3:9 "Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience."

Ephesians 1:1 "Paul, an apostle of Emmanuelthe Christ by the will of God, to the saints.(including us).which are at Ephesus and to the faithful.(those having His faith:.Ephesians 3:12 "In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.").in Christ Emmanuel."

Acts 26:18 "To open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and inheritance among them which are sanctified by the same faith that is in me."

Romans 3:22 "Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Emmanuel the Christ unto all and upon all them that believe, for there is no difference.".Faith righteousness also called the righteousness of faith is your confidence in His righteousness.

Galatians 2:16 "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Emmanuel the Christ, even we have believed in Emmanuel the Christ that we might be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the law, for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." Galatians 3:22 "But the scripture has concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Emmanuel the Christ might be given to them that believe."

Knowing He is faithful to you.(Hebrews 10:23; 1John 1:9).and not taking steps to have this effect you, is the same as not having known it. What good to you is it? It is the same as if you were reprobate. 

Faith in Christ is knowing that the sacrifice of Emmanuel has been applied by the Father to make you acceptable, adopted.(Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:5; Ephesians 1:5).into the God family and now ready to be resurrected:.Romans 8:23. How does this affect you? Is it words? Or life?.John 6:63

His faith for salvation comes to us through the righteousness of God:.2Peter 1:1. And this is what is needed to be made righteous and set for a relationship with God.(Galatians 2:16).and to stay in that stead:.verse 20. If Christ is in you.(what does that mean?), your sanctification is perfect.

Salvation is through Christ's faith:.2Timothy 3:15;.Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God." Romans 6:23 "..... the gift of God is eternal life through Emmanuel the Christ our Lord."

He has faith that can move mountains. We have got the faith to believe He in us can do it. Ask the Creator constantly for help in all you encounter. Watch things change! He is the source of faith and love:.2Timothy 1:13.

By looking to Him.(and not ourselves doing a bunch of rules and regulations in order to make us feel that we have 'ascended higher' and such things done both to ascend in consciousness and to be 'made righteous').for faith and love, grace upon us is abundant:.1Timothy 1:14. When one's disposition contains faith, that is, being aligned with God, it's carried with him or her daily and continually.

It is this access into grace by faith.(His faith in us).accepted by our minds.(belief).that ensures our rising from death:.Romans 5:2 "By whom.also we have access.(access to what?).by faith into this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God."

Romans 4:13-16 "For the promise that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.(the fact that you have Christ in you {Colossians 1:27} ensures you have His faith. You use it by knowing that you are righteous now with God). Because the law works wrath, for where no law is there is no transgression. Therefore it is of faith that it might be by grace, to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed, not to that only which is of the law but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham who is the father of us all."

We should have great boldness in the faith which Christ possesses:.1Timothy 3:13.

The faith in Christ involves righteousness, temperance, judgment.(Acts 24:24,25).and justification.(same as righteousness and means to be 'made righteous'):.Galatians 3:24; Philippians 3:9. Not the judgement as to whether you do good or bad and this being the determining factor regarding you 'making it', but the judgement of what you do in love and concern for others with what it is that you are able to do with.

It is by this faith that we are the children of God:.Galatians 3:26. 

The faith of Emmanuel the Christ Paul talked of was regarding a change in how God can be viewed. He's now our Father, always open.(Luke 15:11-32).to a relationship with His sons and daughters. 

The word repentance means 'change' and more. Most spiritual persons take it to mean 'sorry for sins they commit'. But it means much more than this.

It means to change from thinking of yourself as a sinner to caring for yourself as God will care for you once you change from the low consciousness we all have carried; it means to have come to the point of seeing one's life as having been a product of his or her own limiting outlook. What's that mean?.Matthew Henry's Commentary:."God's promises to us are more powerful and effective for mortifying sin.(what is sin?), than our promises to God."

"The evil has been defeated! Trust and believe this. More is happening than you can imagine. The havoc only disappears when the human being binds himself again to God."....Bruno Gröning.

We all have been born good, but soon after become subject to corruption from the mass mind of humanity and from society negatively influenced by the dark side:.1Corinthians 15:21,22.

One's ability to choose emerges as he or she grows and so do the choices for good and bad. And so the purpose of each individual life begins.

Hebrews 12:1 "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which does so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us."

Colossians 1:21,22 "And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he reconciled  in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight." 

So, for the bad deeds, which come from bad thoughts, wanting to change is called repentance. You are not responsible for the nature you have. That was all looked after by the first man, Adam. But, like him, we too have a choice. And the choice to move from evil, brings the will and power to do so.

As such, is repentance necessary every time we may do wrong? No, but learning is. Learn to avoid the negatives. We are here to move from bad to good.

If we have opted out of low consciousness living thanks to the gift of Christ, the degree of that opting out depends upon how much faith one has at any particular time, while he or she continues to grow in faith:.John 4:10; Ephesians 2:8;4:7 "But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ." 2Timothy 1:6 "Wherefore I put you in remembrance that you stir up the gift of God, which is in you..."

So, in repentance, is once not enough? And, is it the deeds or is it the thoughts that led to the need for this thing called repentance or is it both?

Sin simply means 'missing the mark'; missing the mark of what? Missing the mark of a higher consciousness. Missing it why? Because we really had no choice in the matter. We were born into a low consciousness realm known as the ego realm of existence. It was God's plan that all humanity first be in this low consciousness level, so that we could see that something better was needed for us to be happy. Contrasts are necessary.

This faith of Emmanuel the Christ comes once you believe that you are indeed righteous:.Romans 3:22; 10:6.

Romans 5:1:.It is by this faith that we are justified.(made righteous in the eyes of God). And because faith is a gift from God.(Ephesians 2:8), without which we could not receive His Holy Spirit, we could not have been made righteous if God had not called us.(2Timothy 1:9).and given us the gift of His Holy Nature,.(His Holy Spirit).with all the attributes that come with that gift:.Galatians 3:14,22. 

Faith becomes effective by acknowledging the fact that you are righteous, holy and perfect in Christ:.Philemon 1:6. 

We are advised to be steadfast in this faith in order to overcome.(1John 5:4).and gain a great reward.

When we are rooted in love, Christ will dwell more fully in us:.Ephesians 3:17. 

Christ is watching our works:.Revelation 2:19. We too need to watch them.
