Faith – the key to gaining everlasting life, as advised by the Holy Bible.
Faith – in one God, Lord, Creator and in His son Jesus Christ.


When a person offers us an arrangement, assuring us of a comfortable lifestyle for the rest of our lives on earth, we automatically take that arrangement into extreme consideration.

Simultaneously, we are also well aware that such comfort promising arrangements, which will one day come to an end, must only be obtained through costly circumstances.

GOD has offered every person an arrangement, which assures each individual of eternal life into His kingdom, after the assessment of the individuals struggling life on earth. Nonetheless, this arrangement also has a condition, at no expense at all. In consequence, we don’t have to pay anything. All that He asks from us is to have Faith in Him. Faith, which generates unconditional trust and confidence in Him.

The bible tells us of a number of people who had Factual Faith in God, justified by their deeds.

Noah believed in God when he was warned of the destruction, which was due to be brought to the entire earth. He had ultimate confidence and trusted that God would fulfil His promise. Genesis 6: 9 – 7:10.

Abraham justified his faith in God, by offering his son Isaac as sacrifice, when commanded by God. Genesis 22: 1 – 19.

David, the youngest son of Jesse, utilised his faith in God as strength to defeat the mighty Goliath. 1 Samuel 17.
A Roman officer (Centurion), commander of more than one hundred men, takes Jesus at His words and believes that his servant could be healed by the word of mouth. Matthew 8: 5 – 13.

The faith of a number of men was proven fruitful and beneficial to their paralytic friend, when they tried their utmost to present him to Jesus and were successful. Luke 5: 17 – 26.

Paul, Christs’ chosen instrument, instructs us to stand firm and hold to the teachings of the Holy Bible, word of God. 2 Thessalonians 2: 13 – 17.

Paul also draws our attention to the hall of faith, where other biblical personalities performed and gained gracious gifts and guidance from the Lord God. Hebrews 11.

James, Jesus’ stepbrother, stresses the significance of Faith justified by deeds. James 2: 14 – 26.

John, the beloved disciple of Christ, confirms by the power of the Holy Spirit, that when we gain Factual Faith, we have to tool for overcoming the world. 1 John 5: 1 – 12.
