FAITH:
This is a study dealing with Faith. Faith is a
part of the Fruit of the Spirit. In Galatians 5, we
are commanded to Walk in the Spirit. We find
the Fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22.
FAITH
Faith is a personal measurement of the level of
confidence in what Christ has done and will do
in, through, and for us.
DOUBT
Doubt is an attitude of unbelief, characterized
by rebellion and disobedience toward God.

Every person sitting here that is saved is that
Blood bought slave. We have been set free to
Serve. We now belong to Jesus Christ. Psalms
116:6, “O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy
servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast
loosed my bonds.” It is important for every one
of us to be obedient in every area of our life.
Lets all turn to Romans 6:11-23 “Likewise
reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto
sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our
Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your
mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts
thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as
instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield
yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from
the dead, and your members as instruments of
righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall not
have dominion over you: for ye are not under the
law, but under grace. 15 What then? shall we sin,
because we are not under the law, but under
grace? God forbid. 16 Know ye not, that to whom
ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye
are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or
of obedience unto righteousness? 17 But God be
thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye
have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine
which was delivered you. 18 Being then made free
from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after the manner of men because of the
22
infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your
members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity
unto iniquity; even so now yield your members
servants to righteousness unto holiness. 20 For
when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free
from righteousness. 21 What fruit had ye then in
those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the
end of those things is death. 22 But now being
made free from sin, and become
servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness,
and the end everlasting life. 23 For the wages of
sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Every one of us that are saved are now free to
walk in newness of life as one with Jesus Christ,
Risen. There in Verse 11 is the word RECKON.
That word means Literally, Count as True. The
word of God says that I died with Christ. I, as
an individual, am to count this as absolute truth.
As Faith reckons on this, I find that the claims of
sin are abolished. There is no other way of
deliverance than that which begins with
reckoning. “..Reckon ye also yourselves to be
dead....I am Crucified with Christ...” How many
of you in here feel dead? I am very much still
alive. Feelings have nothing to do with this at all.
This is a judicial fact. Christ's death is my death
and therefore I reckon myself to have died unto
sin's dominion. Galatians 2:20 “I am crucified
23
with Christ nevertheless I live: yest not I, but
Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live
in the flesh I live by the Faith of the son of God,
who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
