My Affirmation
By John David Hicks
Faith comes from hearing the Good News from the word of God. Thus, according to your word Lord, I am who you say I am! (Rom. 10:17). “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary (Ps 107:2).
Lord, your said I can get rid of all moral filth and the evil influence in the world that is so prevalent, by humbly accepting the word of God that is planted in me, which can deliver me! (James 1:21)
Lord, thank you for helping me to understand that the access I have gained into your grace in which I now stand has come to me by faith. Help me to rejoice in the hope of your glory! (Rom. 5:2).
