Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2

When we keep looking at Jesus, our faith increases without us having to try to do so, with our own ability. We continually see His grace, unending love and goodness. And as He looks at us, all He sees is faith.

So, the only judge of faith is God, not man. The two individuals Jesus said had great faith, were gentiles. The centurion and the woman of canaan didn’t know much about the torah (the Old testament books), they didn’t know much about faith, but all they knew was the goodness of Jesus. So as they beheld Jesus and His grace, He saw their great faith.

Beloved, in James 2:26 where it was stated that, “faith without works is dead”; two examples were cited, that of Abraham and Rahab.

Abraham was declared righteous by God, years before he agreed to sacrifice Isaac. So, he wasn’t justified by God because of his action. You are justified by faith alone and not by works: your actions. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, who is the beginning and perfecter of your faith.

Prayer: Thank You daddy God; I am made righteous by faith. I look to Your Grace.
