A Framework of Faith

December 30, 2009

This “Framework of Faith” was introduced to me by Jewel who was taught by Pastor Chris. I thought I would try it as I read the Lord’s word today. I am astounded by the clarity and unity of Scripture. My QT was based on the 1st chapter of “The Fullness of Joy” by Charles Spurgeon. Here’s my attempt:

“Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints of the light” Col 1:12

  • We are qualified (made suitable, fit, worthy) of the inheritance only because of our adoption as sons of God.
  • We were formerly slaves to sin. As sons of God, we are also heirs who may be qualified for the inheritance of the saints of the light. Gal 4:7
  • Not just saints… but saints of the light. Saints who dwell in the light. God is the Father of lights. Every good and perfect gift is from above and comes from the Father of light in whom there is no variation and no shadow of turning. James 1
  • God has given us His divine power, and everything we need pertaining to life and godliness. 2 Pet 1
  • Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory. Eph 3

I give thanks to God because He has qualified me to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints of the light. He qualifies me. He makes me suitable. Not of works, lest I should boast. Looking forward to tapping into His divine power to live life as it was meant to be lived, and godliness.
