MY FAITH HAS FOUND A RESTING PLACE

Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
My faith has found a resting place…. We sing this song a lot; but I bet you, so many people who sing this song don’t really believe in the lyrics of the song. They claim their faith has found a resting place and yet they don’t believe in the righteousness of faith apart from works – they rather trust in their righteousness. The righteousness of faith is the foundational doctrine on which all other doctrine hinges on. If you don’t get this teaching, your faith is still hanging. It is righteousness without your works and effort; it is simply faith in Jesus Christ for your righteousness
1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
These same individuals don’t trust in Jesus’ stripes for their healing and health. They would rather run to the doctor and nutritionists for their health problems. They would rather trust exercises and dieting to stay healthy than the communion which is for our health (1 Corinthians 11:29); they will not trust the word of God which is medicine to our flesh (Proverbs 4:22); they will not trust the Holy Ghost who vitalizes our mortal bodies (Romans 8:11).
Where is their faith that has found a resting place? Where is that resting place they claim? Is it on the principles of this world? Is it in the Ten Commandments? Or is it in their self-effort to please God? God have mercy! Our resting place is absolutely Jesus and His finished work. This is where our faith should completely rest. You have to completely trust in Jesus for your righteousness and salvation and healing. He alone has the answers to all life’s problems. My faith has found a resting place, Jesus Christ.
