Meditation
Verse
Yochanan/John
14:12
“Truly,
truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me (from the Hebrew emunah-“acts
on my words”), the works (works of the Torah) that I do shall he do also; and
greater works than theses shall he do; because I go to the Father”
Quote Of The Day:
Avi Ben
Mordachi – Messiah: Understanding His Life and Teaching in Hebraic Context
“It is obvious
from the words in the B’rit Chadasha that “faith” or “belief” in Y’shua means
faithfully receiving His Torah and that is the same Torah of Sinai; in having
“faith” in G-d the result is faithfulness to His instructions and that desire
is not of yourself but is a gift of G-d!”

Talmud,
Shabbat 119b “Rabba said “Jerusalem was destroyed only because men of faith
ceased therein’ for it is said: Run ye to and fro in the streets of Jerusalem,
and see now and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if you can find a
man, if ther be any that does justly, that seeks faithfulness; and I will
pardon (Jeremiah 5:1)
(Rom 1:5 ASV) through
whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience
of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;
(Rom 1:8 ASV) First, I
thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that
your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
(Rom 1:12 ASV) that is,
that I with you may be comforted in you, each of us by
the other's faith, both yours and mine.
(Rom 1:17 ASV) For
therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith
unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous
shall live by faith.
(Rom 3:3 ASV) For what
if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God?
(Rom 3:22 ASV) even the
righteousness of God through faith in Jesus
Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction;
(Rom 3:25 ASV) whom God
set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his
righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the
forbearance of God;
(Rom 3:26 ASV) for the
showing, I say, of his righteousness at
this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus.
(Rom 3:27 ASV) Where then
is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith.
(Rom 3:28 ASV) We reckon
therefore that a man is justified by faith
apart from the works of the law.
(Rom 3:30 ASV) if so be
that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision
by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.
(Rom 3:31 ASV) Do we then
make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law.
(Rom 4:5 ASV) But to him
that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.
(Rom 4:9 ASV) Is this
blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision
also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned
for righteousness.
(Rom 4:11 ASV) and he
received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the
righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision;
that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in
uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them;
(Rom 4:12 ASV) and the
father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who
also walk in the steps of that faith of our
father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.
(Rom 4:13 ASV) For not
through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be
heir of the world, but through the righteousness of
faith.
(Rom 4:14 ASV) For if
they that are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made
of none effect:
(Rom 4:16 ASV) For this
cause it is of
faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the
promise may 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
(Rom 4:19 ASV) And
without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead
(he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb;
(Rom 4:20 ASV) yet,
looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God,
(Rom 5:1 ASV) Being
therefore justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
(Rom 5:2 ASV) through
whom also we have had our access by faith into
this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
(Rom 9:30 ASV) What shall
we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, attained
to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of
faith:
(Rom 9:32 ASV) Wherefore?
Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled
at the stone of stumbling;
(Rom 10:6 ASV) But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not
in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:)
(Rom 10:8 ASV) But what
saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in
thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
(Rom 11:20 ASV) Well; by
their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest
by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
(Rom 12:3 ASV) For I say,
through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to
think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think as to think
soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a
measure of faith.
(Rom 12:6 ASV) And having
gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according
to the proportion of our faith;
(Rom 14:23 ASV) But he
that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because he
eateth not of faith; and whatsoever is not
of faith is sin.
(Rom 16:26 ASV) but now is
manifested, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment
of the eternal God, is made known unto all the nations unto obedience of faith:
(1Co 2:5 ASV) that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of
men, but in the power of God.
(1Co 12:9 ASV) to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another
gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;
(1Co 13:2 ASV) And if I
have the gift of prophecy, and know all
mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove
mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
(1Co 13:13 ASV) But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the
greatest of these is love.
(1Co 15:14 ASV) and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching
vain, your faith also is vain.
(1Co 15:17 ASV) and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye
are yet in your sins.
(1Co 16:13 ASV) Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be
strong.
(2Co 1:24 ASV) Not that
we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for in faith ye stand fast.
(2Co 4:13 ASV) But having
the same spirit of faith, according to that
which is written, I believed, and therefore did I speak; we also believe, and
therefore also we speak;
(2Co 5:7 ASV)
(for we walk by faith, not by sight);
(2Co 8:7 ASV) But as ye
abound in everything, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love to us, see
that ye abound in this grace also.
(2Co 10:15 ASV) not
glorying beyond our measure, that is, in other men's labors; but having hope
that, as your faith groweth, we shall be
magnified in you according to our province unto further
abundance,
(2Co 13:5 ASV) Try your
own selves, whether ye are in the faith; prove
your own selves. Or know ye not as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in
you? unless indeed ye be reprobate.
(Gal 2:16 ASV) yet
knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ,
even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in
Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall
no flesh be justified.
(Gal 2:20 ASV) I have
been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living
in me: and that life which I now live in
the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is
in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.
(Gal 3:2 ASV) This only
would I learn from you. Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by
the hearing of faith?
(Gal 3:5 ASV) He
therefore that supplieth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
(Gal 3:7 ASV) Know
therefore that they that are of faith, the same
are sons of Abraham.
(Gal 3:8 ASV) And the
scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the
Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the nations be blessed.
(Gal 3:9 ASV) So then
they that are of faith are blessed with the faithful
Abraham.
(Gal 3:11 ASV) Now that
no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith;
(Gal 3:14 ASV) that upon
the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might
receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
(Gal 3:22 ASV) But the
scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise
by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
(Gal 3:26 ASV) For ye are
all sons of God, through faith, in Christ
Jesus.
(Gal 5:5 ASV) For we
through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
(Gal 5:6 ASV) For in
Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
(Gal 6:10 ASV) So then,
as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and
especially toward them that are of the household of
the faith.
(
(Eph 2:8 ASV) for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not
of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
(Eph 3:12 ASV) in whom we
have boldness and access in confidence through our
faith in him.
(Eph 3:17 ASV) that
Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;
to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
(Eph 4:5 ASV) one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
(Eph 4:13 ASV) till we
all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of
the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the
stature of the fulness of Christ:
(Eph 6:16 ASV) withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be
able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.
(Phi 1:27 ASV) Only let
your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and
see you and be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one
spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the
gospel;
(Phi 2:17 ASV) Yea, and
if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and
rejoice with you all:
(Phi 3:9 ASV) and be
found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own, even that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is
from God by faith:
(Col 1:4 ASV) having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love
which ye have toward all the saints,
(Col 1:23 ASV) if so be
that ye continue in the faith, grounded and
stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which
was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister.
(Col 2:5 ASV) For though
I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding
your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in
Christ.
(Col 2:7 ASV) rooted and
builded up in him, and established in your faith,
even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
(Col 2:12 ASV) having
been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from
the dead.
(1Th 1:3 ASV)
remembering without ceasing your work of faith
and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God
and Father;
(1Th 1:8 ASV) For from
you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia,
but in every place your faith to God-ward is
gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything.
(1Th 3:5 ASV) For this
cause I also, when I could no longer forbear, sent that I might know your faith, lest by any means the tempter had tempted
you, and our labor should be in vain.
(1Th 5:8 ASV) But let
us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the
breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
(2Th 1:3 ASV) We are
bound to give thanks to God always to you, brethren, even as it is meet, for
that your faith growth exceedingly, and the
love of each one of you all toward one another aboundeth;
(2Th 1:4 ASV) so that we
ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which
ye endure;
(2Th 1:11 ASV) To which
end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your
calling, and fulfil every desire of goodness and every work of faith, with power;
(2Th 3:2 ASV) and that
we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for
all have not faith.
(1Ti 1:5 ASV) But the
end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:
(1Ti 1:19 ASV) holding faith and a good conscience; which some
having thrust from them made shipwreck concerning the faith:
(1Ti 2:15 ASV) but she
shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they
continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
(1Ti 3:9 ASV) holding
the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
(1Ti 3:13 ASV) For they
that have served well as deacons gain to themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
(1Ti 4:1 ASV) But the
Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall
fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines
of demons,
(1Ti 4:6 ASV) If thou
put the brethren in mind of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of
Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith,
and of the good doctrine which thou hast followed until
now:
(1Ti 4:12 ASV) Let no man
despise thy youth; but be thou an ensample to them that believe, in word, in
manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity.
(1Ti 6:11 ASV) But thou,
O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
(1Ti 6:12 ASV) Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life
eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in
the sight of many witnesses.
(2Ti 1:13 ASV) Hold the
pattern of sound words which thou hast heard from me, in
faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
(2Ti 2:22 ASV) after
righteousness, faith, love, pace, with them
that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
(2Ti 3:10 ASV) But thou
didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith,
longsuffering, love, patience,
(2Ti 4:7 ASV) I have
fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith:
(Tit 1:13 ASV) This
testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
(Tit 2:2 ASV) that aged
men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith,
in love, in patience:
(Phm 1:6 ASV) that the
fellowship of thy faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good
thing which is in you, unto Christ.
(Heb 6:1 ASV) Wherefore
leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on unto
perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of
faith toward God,
(Heb 6:12 ASV) that ye be
not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith
and patience inherit the promises.
(Heb 10:22 ASV) let us
draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed
with pure water,
(Heb 10:38 ASV) But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he
shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.
(Heb 10:39 ASV) But we are
not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul.
(Jam 1:3 ASV) Knowing
that the proving of your faith worketh patience.
(Jam 1:6 ASV) But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he
that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
(Jam 2:5 ASV) Hearken,
my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world to be rich in faith,
and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?
(Jam 2:14 ASV) What doth
it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but
have not works? can that faith save him?
(Jam 2:17 ASV) Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.
(Jam 2:18 ASV) Yea, a man
will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from thy works, and I by my
works will show thee my faith.
(Jam 2:20 ASV) But wilt
thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is
barren?
(Jam 2:22 ASV) Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was
faith made perfect;
(Jam 2:24 ASV) Ye see
that by works a man is justified, and not only by
faith.
(Jam 2:26 ASV) For as the
body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith
apart from works is dead.
(Jam 5:15 ASV) and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the
Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven
him.
(1Pe 1:5 ASV) who by the
power of God are guarded through faith unto a
salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
(1Pe 1:7 ASV) that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold that perisheth
though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at
the revelation of Jesus Christ:
(1Pe 1:9 ASV) receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your
souls.
(1Pe 1:21 ASV) who through
him are believers in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so
that your faith and hope might be in God.
(1Pe 5:9 ASV) whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the
same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.
(2Pe 1:5 ASV) Yea, and
for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in
your faith supply virtue; and in your
virtue knowledge;
(1Jo 5:4 ASV) For
whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory
that hath overcome the world, even our faith.
(Jud 1:20 ASV) But ye,
beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy
faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
(Rev 2:19 ASV) I know thy
works, and thy love and faith and ministry and
patience, and that thy last works are more than the first.
(Rev 13:10 ASV) If any man
is for captivity, into captivity he
goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
(Rev 14:12 ASV) Here is
the patience of the saints, they that keep the
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Luke 18:8b Amplified New Testament
8b…. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [persistence
in] faith on the earth?[2]
