Acts 3:16 NASB

“And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.”

Encouraging Words...

Faith...it is the center of our life in Christ. As you read through the accounts of healing in the New Testament you almost always see it accounted to faith. There are even accounts of Jesus saying that his ability to perform miracles is limited by the lack of faith of the people He is trying to minister to. And where does this faith need to be directed? It is to be directed to Jesus. It is in His names that salvation comes. It is in His name that we have victory over death. It is in His name that we can live lives that glorify God. It is not our churches, our doctrines, our knowledge or wisdom, our wealth or health, but it is in the name of the Son of God.
