Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. ~ Hebrews 11:1

The Greek word translated as “substance” is “hupóstasis.” Hupóstasis means the foundation or base, the assurance or support, the subject-matter, the sediment, the real nature, a mental realizing, a substructure, the essence. Faith is solid. Faith is reality as opposed to concept. It’s the reality of things you hope for.

Hope isn’t “I hope so.” Hope is the God-given vision of what God is going to do. Hope is absolute and dependable. If God says it, it’s real. God can’t lie.

What about the word “evidence?” The Greek word is “elegchos.” Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance defines “elegchos” as “proof, conviction:—evidence, reproof.” The 1650 Strong’s defines it like this: “a proof, that by which a thing is proved or tested.” Faith is the absolutely certain proof of things you can’t see with the limitations of your natural eyes. Faith is absolute because it comes from your absolute God.

You don’t manufacture this faith. You can’t. Jesus Christ begins and completes your faith.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter [completer] of our faith ~ Hebrews 12:2a

His Righteous Trees

His righteous trees are planted by the water,
They shall bear fruit – not wither, but shall prosper.
His Trees of Life are healing for the nations,
They shall stand tall – they shall not fall,
These righteous trees!

All who love truth find Jesus. Jesus is real and knowable. He’s a living Person, not a religion or idea. All who sincerely and persistently seek Him find Him. He is the Light that gives light (His wisdom, knowledge, love, and all the fruits of the Spirit) to every person. All wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. Thank Him and give Him the glory. Don’t grab the glory for yourself.

Those who listen to His voice and yield to His Spirit to the point that He speaks His words and does His acts through them go from glory to greater glory as the fleshly carnal nature becomes less and Christ is more completely formed in them. This is the meaning of salvation by grace through faith. If you don’t understand that, pray for wisdom on it, and God will speak to you about it.

Christ leads, teaches, and corrects all who follow Him. Do not add to His words or diminish any of them. Don’t second-guess Him or try to analyze what He gives. Thank Him for the wisdom and knowledge He gives, and don’t take the glory for yourself. Those who refuse to thank Him walk into ever-greater darkness with each step. Those who thank Him, give Him the glory, and allow Him to work through them walk into ever-greater light with each step.

You can’t produce righteousness. It comes from God. You can’t produce love. It’s a fruit of the Holy Spirit. It comes from the Holy Spirit. It comes by listening to His voice and receiving His faith. His faith gives you access to His grace. His grace does the works of love and says the words of love through you. You yield yourself to His love. You play an important part. You yield. You stop fighting God. God does everything else.

The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” ~ Romans 13:9

For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is fulfilled in a single decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” ~ Galatians 5:13-14

And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him. In this way, love has been perfected among us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment; for in this world we are just like Him. ~ 1 John 4:16-17

If you listen to God in all the ways He speaks to you, God’s faith comes. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word (rhema) of God.

Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word (rhema or utterance) of Christ. ~ Romans 10:17

The Greek term, “rhema,” translated “word,” means “utterance.” Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the utterance of God. Jesus Christ is the Logos, the Utterance of God. That’s why Jesus Christ is the Author and Finisher of your faith. When God speaks, He’s speaking the essence of Christ into you if you will receive it from Him. He’s planting a seed. That means when God leads, if you have ears to hear, faith comes. This faith isn’t an internal human effort of making yourself believe, that is, make-believe. It’s not pretending. Faith is substance: reality as opposed to concept. And it’s evidence: absolutely certain proof.

Righteousness

Righteousness is Jesus Christ manifesting Himself in you, and righteousness springs forth by grace through faith. It’s a gift. That’s the process where God speaks, you hear, faith comes and gives access to grace, and grace does God’s works through you.

You aren’t saved by righteousness, but you are saved to righteousness. You aren’t saved from righteousness, but you are saved from sin. Righteousness is a gift, and it’s part of your salvation.

the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! ~ Romans 5:7b

For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden enables seed to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations. ~ Isaiah 61:11

Someone may say, “Aren’t you just supposed to love one another, and doesn’t that make righteousness something that belongs to the Law of Moses?” A question like that shows a lack of understanding.

Love is righteousness. God is love. God’s Law is love. God working through you is righteousness. God working through you is the love of God flowing through you.

HIS LOVE IS FLOWING FROM MEMBER TO MEMBER

HIS LOVE IS FLOWING FROM MEMBER TO MEMBER

Chorus
His Love is flowing from member to member,
Each one in the place, which God has ordained.
Though many may try in their own feeble power,
God gives His life freely; in Love our God reigns.

We shall surly be just like Him
In the moment that we see Him as He is,
The Body is all one with many members,
We can read and know: that is how Christ is.

Behold I show you a mystery,
We shall not all die,
But we shall all be changed, in just a moment,
It will happen in a twinkling of an eye.

As with open, unveiled faces,
His image we discern and clearly see.
From glory unto glory to be just like Him,
From faith to faith, we are becoming free.

Now we are little children of God.
He is in us but He hasn’t been unveiled.
As we see Him as He is in each ministry,
We’ll be changed by degrees to be like Him.

Jesus sits at the Father’s right hand,
Until that final enemy is gone,
The last thing to be done is to defeat death,
Then our Lord and Savior, Jesus, will return.

Jesus is the one the heavens must hold,
He must stay there ’til all fullness is restored,
And it’s written, awful death is the last enemy,
Yet preceding the returning of our Lord.

Let’s not put God’s new wine into those old wineskins.
And not ever change God’s wonderful good news
To try to make it fit some old theologies.
Between the ways of men and God, we must choose.
