Daily Bread – June 3, 2023 (The Seventh Day – Genesis 2:1-3) Philemon 1:6 – So that the communication of your faith may be effectual by acknowledging every good thing in you by Christ Jesus. Our Responsibility – Speak Faith! Our responsibility to speak out faith by a declaration of the Word is fundamental to salvation. The instructions that Paul gave in Romans 10:6-10 underscores the necessity to speak out those things which God has spoken. The word of faith that produces the miracle of salvation is the same word of faith that produces all of the other blessings and promises of God. Confession, according to Paul, is made unto salvation. Equally, believing with the heart that one is made righteous is also essential. The spirit of faith that is in us speaks out the Word of God according as we have believed (2 Corinthians 4:13). Paul made it clear to Philemon that if faith was going to work (Greek – energia/”effectual”) in his life, then there must be an acknowledgement of what God had made him (Titus 1:1; Colossians 2:2). Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
