With God All Things Are Possible
Dr RJ Sing
“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”
Faith! In the above passage, the word “Faith” is applied to God. One has to accept that with God, all things are possible. In Practical Terms, It means that through Faith, the things that are Possible to God are made equally possible to the one who believes. Let us look at another Important Scripture found in the Book of Mark. “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth”. Mark 9:23.
Through Faith all that is Possible to God becomes equally possible to us. No wonder the Bible, from the Beginning to the End, consistently emphasizes the Unique and Supreme Importance of Faith. In English, we have two different words for Faith; a noun, Faith and a verb, Believe. The connection between the two words is not always obvious. As a result, people sometimes try to make a distinction between “Believing” and “Having Faith”.
However, there is No basis for this distinction in the original Greek of the New Testament. In Greek the Word for Faith is PISTIS, and the Word for Believe is PISTEUO. As far as the Bible is concerned, believing is exercising Faith. Conversely, exercising Faith is believing. Remember that with God all things are possible.
