Um, faith.

One Lord, one faith.

One faith.

And there really truly is only one faith, and it is faith in Jesus Christ.

Um, the, the matter of faith, it is the faith that was once delivered to the saints.

There are not multiple faiths.

There is one faith, and it is the faith that we place in the Lord Jesus Christ, of course, who is God manifest in the flesh-

Mm-hmm

... um, and who came into this world as the only begotten Son of God.

He became our substitute.

It is faith in His, uh, innocence, His blameless life.

It is faith in His death upon the cross.

It is faith in His burial and resurrection from the grave.

Mm.

It is faith in the outpouring of His Spirit.

It is faith in His, uh, soon return.

You know, this is the faith that was once delivered to the saints.

Yeah.

So there are not multiple faith systems.

Faith is uniquely connected-

Mm

... to believing and obeying, uh, the Lord and, and trusting in His Word to the point that you act upon it.

Um, and so, uh, faith is not a merely a mental, uh, ascent or mental-

Mm
