Keep the Faith Given to You.

 Keep the faith.

Romans 3:22 even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe.

(Excerpt)

"By Faith of Jesus Christ." 

In another place Paul expresses his desire when the Lord comes to be found "not having mine own righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith." Phil. 3:9.

Here again we have "the faith of Christ." 

Still further, it is said of the saints, "Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." Rev. 14:12. 

God is faithful (1 Cor. 1:9) and Christ is faithful, for "he abideth faithful." 2 Tim. 2:13. 

God deals to every one a measure of faith. Rom. 12:3; Eph. 2:8.

1Co 1:9  God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 

2Ti 2:13  If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. 

Rom 12:3  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 

Eph 2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God

He imparts to us his own faithfulness. 

This he does by giving us himself. 

So that we do not have to get righteousness which we ourselves manufacture; but to make the matter doubly sure, the Lord imparts to us in himself the faith by which we appropriate his righteousness. 

Thus the faith of Christ must bring the righteousness of God, because the possession of that faith is the possession of the Lord himself. 

This faith is dealt to every man, even as Christ gave himself to every man.

Do you ask what then can prevent every man from being saved? The answer is, Nothing, except the fact that all men will not keep the faith. If all would keep all that God gives them, all would be saved.
