Ephesians 1:13-14 says of that relationship that, “…you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance…” Peter wrote about this. 1 Peter 1:4-5 says, “To an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith…”

Hebrews 1:3 says of Jesus, “…upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.” Our faith is rooted and established in eternal truth that keeps us moment by moment.

Faith first comes in a measure. Romans 12:3 says, “…as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.” It is increased as we hear and apply God’s word. Romans 10:17. Colossians 2:7 says that we abound it in through thanksgiving.
