Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0178A recorded on June 1, 1980 teaching from Galatians 2:20 – The Faith of the Son of God.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens emphasizes that Christian faith is not about adhering to Jewish rituals or outward religious practices, but a profound personal commitment to Jesus Christ. He highlights the distinction between “faith in the Son of God” and “the faith of the Son of God,” reminding us that true salvation stems from God’s own perfect faith in His Son and the Son’s faith in the Father. This authentic faith, unlike a superficial or “mediocre” belief, is grounded in knowledge of Christ, leads to a purified heart, and is a constantly growing and developing relationship. Ultimately, a genuine, active faith in Jesus is essential for a life that glorifies God and ensures everlasting life, as mere religious pretense is insufficient.
