FINISHED

Dear One,

When I said through the Apostle Paul that you should look to Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith, I mean to do precisely that:
Consider His actions;
Consider His wisdom;
Consider His faith;
Consider His attitudes toward demonic spirits;
Consider his love for all men;
Consider his reliance upon Me through the Holy Spirit.
I meant to consider every aspect of His life, not only His ministry but His attitudes toward people.
Consider His rebellion against binding traditions which brought rejections from the establishment in the church.
Consider all of those truths and lean upon them.
Consider that Jesus was the author of your faith. He began it by ushering in the New Covenant with men. He is the finisher of your faith because He finished the prophesies of the Old Covenant when He came to earth. He finished My New Covenant of Sonship with men and it is perfect. He finished it when He rose from the dead and sent the Holy Spirit to live in you.
He is the author of your faith because He gives you the gift of faith. He is the finisher of your faith because He always carries out what He has promised. He finishes every promise that He made. He finishes every job that He begins.

Love, God
