Just Enough Faith
I
used to wonder if I had enough faith to be saved. What if I didn’t have enough faith at the time I thought I was saved? What if I didn’t get saved? How
could I know if I had enough faith? How
do you measure faith? I
remember attending a revival meeting as a teenager and I learned a wonderful
truth which I have never forgotten. I
will share it with you now.
Let’s look at Romans 10:13... “For whosoever shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” What a precious promise from God! If we will only call upon the Lord Jesus for salvation, that is all the faith we need to be saved.
How much faith do you need to be saved? ... JUST ENOUGH!
If you have “just enough” faith to put your trust in Christ and go to Him for the forgiveness of your sins, that’s all the faith required. As a matter of fact, the more doubt you have, the greater your faith if you simply act on the belief. If you have so much doubt, that you CANNOT believe on Christ, then you have a serious problem. However, If you have “JUST ENOUGH” faith to take God at His Word and obey the Bible, then you are doing exactly what God expects of you.
Jesus never one time spoke of degrees of believing. Jesus simply told us to “believe on Him” ...
“And this is the will
of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and
BELIEVETH ON HIM, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day”
(John 6:40). If you
“believe” upon Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, that is all that
matters. Do you believe Jesus
can save you? Do you believe
that you are a sinner? Do you
believe you deserve to go to Hell because of your sins? Do you believe Jesus died on the cross
and shed His blood? Do you believe He was buried and rose up again three days later? Do you believe that Jesus came to the earth as God in the flesh? If you believe these Bible truths
and have “JUST ENOUGH” faith to
CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD—You will be saved! This is what Romans 10:13 says. You don’t need to spend countless hours worrying over
whether or not you have enough faith. If
you have “JUST ENOUGH” faith to “CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD,”
that’s all the faith you need to be saved. Either you “believe” on the Lord Jesus, or you don’t. I believe!
