Matthew 2;5-13
And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 6And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 7And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 9For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 10When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 11And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 12But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 13And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
Ephesians 2;8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
About 3 weeks ago a man came in the shop needing a little work done . We talked and I made a ticket and he paid . In the coarse of conversation I asked him what church he attended . He replied he was not a believer .
That opened up a conversation on GOD . I told him to sit down , we talked a while and he seemed interested even asking a few questions . But then I brought up faith and explaining GOD's offer of salvation . He got slightly agitated and said ...yea ! I knew you were going to bring up having to have 'faith' ! I don't have faith in anything that can't be proven !
I said ........You didn't examine that chair before you sat down in on it ....you had faith it would support you . You didn't count the change I gave you ....you had faith I didn't miscount . I Think you have faith that one day you will die ?
