God’s Word –
•Rom 10:17 – So then faith comes by hearing,
and hearing the word of God.
•We have to act on God’s Word to get the
desired result James 2:26 – For as the body
without the spirit is dead so faith without
works is dead

SUMMARY
•In summary, the fight of faith is the only fight a
Christian should be involved with. If we are in
any other fight we are in the wrong fight.
•The faith fight is a good fight because we are
fighting from a position of victory which we
have in Christ Jesus and the promises which in
Him are Yes and in Him Amen.
•Faith works through love and the outcome;
•Heaven on Earth!

RECEIVING THE GIFT OF SALVATION
• Are you saved? Have you received God’s gift of
salvation (Eph. 2:8)? I encourage you to accept the
Lord’s precious gift of salvation which is freely
available to the whole of mankind.
• Faith in Jesus Christ is primarily what is required to
be saved. The bible tells us for all have sinned and
fallen short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23) and the
wages of sin is death (Rom 6:23). As a result, the
whole of mankind deserves to be separated from
God eternally (Rom 6:23).
21

• However, our Father loves us dearly and as such
he sent His only begotten son to die in our place
(John 3:16-17) so that we may be saved and has
through Christ reconciled us back to Himself (2nd
Corth 5:18).
• It is not His desire that any should perish but that
all should come to repentance (2nd
Pet 3:9) and
accept His precious gift of salvation. If you would
like to accept this gift please say the following
confession.
22
Je sus is Lo rd

• Father I come to You in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the
son of God and that He died for my sins and was
raised from the dead for my justification according
to the scriptures. I believe that because of His
death, burial and resurrection, I am set right with
God. So I receive Him(Jesus) in my heart as my
saviour and confess Him with my mouth as my
Lord. Thank You, Lord.
