Explore the meaning of “The just shall live by faith” through TB Joshua’s teaching. Learn how faith leads to salvation and victorious living.
“The just shall live by faith”—this powerful biblical truth (Romans 1:17) reveals that the life of a true Christian is sustained, guided, and empowered by faith.
In his teachings, Prophet TB Joshua dives deep into the power of faith, not merely as a doctrine, but as a daily reality.
Faith is not only the channel through which we receive salvation but also the key to unlocking healing, deliverance, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Whether you’re a believer seeking spiritual growth or someone searching for truth, this message is a call to build your life on the solid foundation of faith in God’s Word.
The Power of Faith
In one of TB Joshua’s teaching on the Power of Faith, he enlightened both believers and unbelievers about what faith can do for them.
With the power of faith in mind, he taught that just as there is faith in our Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, there is also faith in the Holy Spirit for power.
Romans 10:10 teaches us that with the heart, we believe that Jesus is our righteousness.
The Bible says faith brings salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9), healing (Mark 5:34), baptism in the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38-39), and access to all of God’s blessings (Matthew 21:22).
What is meant by salvation and sin? Prophet TB Joshua said in this sermon that salvation means to be set free from sin and its penalty, and sin is disobeying God’s Word.
“I was baptized before I became a Christian.” In Apostle Paul’s mind, conversion and baptism in the Holy Spirit are co-equal (1 Corinthians 12:13). This means you must have faith to be saved before you can truly become a Christian.
To be saved, God’s Spirit must mix with God’s Word, along with repentance and faith in your heart.
Faith Comes by Hearing
Watch Now – Faith Comes Through the Word
How do you get faith? You get faith by hearing and obeying God’s Word. It’s important to hear not only with your ears but also with your heart.
To hear God’s message in your heart, you need openness and hunger for His Word.
The more you meditate on what you read in the Bible, the more your spirit—your heart—acts on the Word. In a literal sense, the word meditate means think.
It is acting on the Word that builds faith in the heart of the believer. To take the Word into our heart—into our spirit—our spirit must act upon the Word.
When this happens, all we need to do is use our faith to place a demand on the anointing. But if we do not act on the Word, God becomes ineffective in us.
