And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account (Hebrews 4:13).
“When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth (Luke 18:8)?” 9 Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness. 10 How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised. 11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also (Romans 4:9–11). Is there any outward sign, like circumcision, that indicates our acceptance by God? No, our faith is our seal of righteousness. Be clear about this. Faith does not mean that you believe God exists, that Jesus is His Son, and that the Holy Spirit is their agent on the earth. Even the devil believes that. Do you want to be in his camp? This faith mentioned in Romans is our level of trust in God. Do we trust Him unconditionally? Like Abraham? Faith is our outward sign.
