The lesson on March 7, 2010 was part 6 in this series and had the scripture reading in Romans 12:1-2 KJV "1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." It takes a lot of faith to say "this is good" when you are chasened with a bad event in your life. Faith is the antidote to fear. An antidote not only cures but prevents a person being affected by poison. Fear is the poison promoted by the devil and scripture is the antidote. The Lord showed us how to use the antidote when He was tempted by satan in the wilderness. Misplaced faith is a dangerous thing! The bible says have faith in God. Some people today think faith is "positive thinking". The object of your faith means everything. Faith in faith will not work because that is just faith in yourself. You will let yourself down all the time. In Romans 12, we see the bridge that covers the gap from fear to faith. This passage shows how you put faith into action.
