I was reminded of this verse when I saw the new hillsong's album, which is called 'hope, faith and love'. These three things are the foundations of our faith. Without these three things you can't be saved and you can't live your life for Jesus.
Faith is letting what you believe, come out in your actions. It's says in the bible 'faith without actions is died'. We can all say we are 'all in' for Jesus but until we have faith and put that into action, then all we are doing is saying it and that's POINTLESS.
Faith is also listed as one of the spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 12. I believe God sometimes gives us more faith to face certain situation. Maybe your believing for a job or a family member who is ill and you need 'extra' faith to believe for God's to move in that situation.
Without having a faith in Jesus, we aren't saved. You can think you know everything there is know about Jesus, but until you have faith in him. You aren't going to heaven. If you don't have faith in Jesus, i want to ask you why is that?
Faith is about finding it out for yourself, no one can tell you to have faith. But people have point you in the right direction. I want to point you to Jesus, in him you'll found everything you need and more.

All In?
I've been 'all in' for Jesus for while. I say a while, i mean as long as i can remember I've tried to live my life in a way that is pleasing God. I don't always, but i try.
When i look at this generation, after bible week 09, I see something different. I don't think a single person left that site the same way they came. Everyone left more passionate and more excited by God and what he is going to do. I also see a more united youth, a youth that put aside the past and silly disagreements and decide to live for the common purpose, which is Jesus.
In these days it's ALL or NOTHING, it's DO or DIE, we have to answer the call on God and say 'WE ARE ALL IN'.
Being 'all in' isn't easy. but it's worth it. I've lived 'all in' and not 'all in' and I have to tell you the times I've lived 'all in' have been so much more exciting then the times I haven't. Jesus always takes my breathe away and always surprises me with what he has in store for me. If you'll just live 'all in', he will be 'all in' for you and give you EVERYTHING you need and more.
2 Corinthians 6:1-2
"As God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain. For he says, 'in the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you' I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation."
Alot of people quoted the second verse of that but alot the first. The second makes me think alot more then the second. What the first is saying is, live in a way that honors the grace that we have received from God. We have to live it guys. Paul say somewhere else in the bible, 'the kingdom of God is one of deeds not words.' We need to start doing, not just saying.

Now is the time to stand for all we believe in.
Now is the time for actions.
Now is the time for the world to see the love of Jesus.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR US TO SHINE
