Comprehensive Faith

“Comprehensive Faith,” (Some say Panoramic Faith) all that can be understood from the heart of Christ; with a wide- range of our Implausible God. Some of us who walk in Christ never get the huge or full-size picture of God’s faith or His faithfulness. I said us, but “I” is included.
When I personally look at faith, I always interpret a life where it is spelled out in deeds and in truths. Some will not agree because they expect God’s word to be written clearly word for word rather than in comprehension.
God saw Noah to be a special honor to Him. He was a good man and God used him as a vessel for His mercy. Grace was upon him by God.
Grace: Is the goodwill of God towards us, and the good work of God in us and Peaceis the sweet evidence of that grace (Dr Clarence Rucker, Jr Thee1Bishop).
With corruption at its peak, God told a just man to build an Ark. Noah then put on his “Faith.”
Faith: He put on, the confident obedience in the word of God regardless of the circumstances and/or consequences (Dr Clarence Rucker, Jr Thee1Bishop)
Will it rain? I do not know, but God said build the boat. Why are the people laughing at me? I do not care; I am going to build the boat. Noah you cannot build a boat, I know, but God can and will direct me. Are the people ridiculing you? My credibility is to God. That is where my faith lies. Noah knew the big picture. God gave it to him. Build the Ark.
Faith in God gave Noah the ability to endure when others gave up. Noah’s faithfulness was the trial of his faithfulness and obedience. This also should teach us that Christ would save none, except those who “work out their salvation.”
While building the boat, “The substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen have come to fruition: SALVATION. Can we see the big picture? With Faith comes Obedience.
How many Christians do we know sitting around quoting Hebrew 11:1 “now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen?” (Keep sitting and praying for bread, God will not drop a loaf of bread from the sky. A panoramic view of faith will probably tell you to go and teal the earth; the wheat is in the field.)
Faith is confidence in God that leads to obedience to God. True faith is based on what God says and is demonstrated in what we do. What did Noah do?
People with faith do things for God, and God does things for them. Beloveth, faith is not a luxury; it is a necessity. It is for common people and not just great leaders. We need faith for worshiping (Heb 11:4), as well as for working (Heb 11:7), walking (Heb 11:8,9), waiting (11:10-12), and warring (Heb 1130-34). In any area of life where we ignore faith, we will sin; count it so (Rom 14:23).
Faith in God makes all things promising and attainable; and that love and worship for God in us makes things easy. You can always judge the value of faith in anyone from the way they conduct themselves. Obedience to God is an index to doctrine (Dr Clarence Rucker, Jr Thee1Bishop).
Anyone that tells you there is no God, gently say, “You don’t know what is in me and I don’t know what is in you. But I do know, I am that I am.”
Then kindly “shut up.”
Dr Clarence Rucker, Jr Thee1Bishop
