"Faith That Is Pure"

So, what does pure faith look like? Pure faith, is a faith that is undefiled by the things of this world; and is based solely upon Jesus Christ, and the finished work on the cross. We can not do anything to add to, or take away from what He has done, because, when He said, 'It is finished', that is exactly what He meant. It has all been dealt with; and now what we must do, is to walk in that finished work, by faith. So then, what about the falls? Well, undefiled does mean undefiled; doesn't it? Let me ask you this: Why did God send His Son to die on the cross for us? Wasn't it because He loved us? And do you think that because you have fallen, that He now loves you less? That is utter nonsense! How do we know that to be true? Because God knows us better than we know ourselves; He knows our comings and our goings; our beginning and our ending. Well then; could it be that He loves us more? One thing is for sure: He loves us more than we love ourselves. But what really pleases the Father, is when we draw closer to Him. What this basically is, is an experience in a purification process; wherein we fall, repent, and then get refreshed in His love and mercy; all the while, perfecting our faith in Him. We are to be striving for perfection, and in the process, knowing that sooner or later we will fall; but all the while, we must be diligent not to. In other words; we must keep on guard to avoid a fall; but when we do have a fall, we must be quick to ask for His forgiveness, and then press on. Pressing towards the mark; never wavering; and always dependent upon Him. Remember, what God desires in us is fellowship; and we have fellowship with God through the obedience of His Son, Jesus Christ, and what He did upon the cross. You know; it is really hard to have fellowship with God when we are hiding in the bushes. We must come out into the open, be washed in the blood of the Lamb, and then walk by faith; knowing, believing, and trusting that God loves us even more than we love ourselves: We must know His ways! So now then; What do we do about that? There is only one thing that is left to do: We love Him back!!! "Wherefore as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear His voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known My ways. So I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest. Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the Living God." (Hebrews 3:7-12)
