Faith vs. Denial

Romans 4
16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all 17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did

We have been given authority by God to do the same thing.  
(If you don't understand how or why you can read more here; http://www.speakfaith.com/articles/why_speak_your_faith.html.)

There is, however, a huge difference between
CALLING THOSE THINGS WHICH DO NOT EXIST AS THOUGH THEY DID
and
CALLING THOSE THINGS WHICH DO EXIST AS THOUGH THEY DO NOT.

The first one is faith.  The second is denial.

Grace Notes

THIS is good news!
Here are some excellent blogs and websites to follow to learn more about grace.
Grace is a fancy way of saying, the completed work of Jesus.  Most all believers think they believe in grace, but not all believers understand that since Jesus' sacrifice was so perfect and so complete, it requires no additional work on our part.  All that is required is belief / faith / trust that Jesus paid it ALL.
