Introduction

The Spirit has led me to put a number of things in writing to share with the saints for
their edification and instruction, but I can think of no more important message than
that which is contained in this book. The book “The Remnant Bride” presents a
challenge to the saints to not be content with Outer Court Christianity, but to enter
into the place of intimacy to which the Bride of Christ is called. The books “The Road
from Babylon to Zion,” “Laying Down the Law” and “Sarah’s Children” contain
insight and instruction to the saints to lead them out of the dead works of an apostate
church and into the will of God. The books “Sabbath” and “God’s Plan of the Ages”
contain foundational truths and hold great benefit for those who comprehend their
message. Yet in this book is contained a message of foundational truth that goes even
deeper than the books that have preceded it.

Some having read the cover to this book and discerned that it deals with the topic of
faith might rightly object, that as profound and essential as faith is, there are deeper
and more important issues. In Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians he declared that
“there abides faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.” What will be
shown in the pages of this book is that faith is actually born out of love. Faith finds
its foundation in the love of God, and it is those who struggle with trusting in the love
of God who have the greatest difficulty in manifesting faith.

The extreme importance of faith is seen in the words, “Without faith it is impossible
to please God.” Pleasing God should be the aim of every saint. If we understand that
we have no possibility of pleasing God apart from faith, we can discern that it is
among the most vital and essential needs of every saint. This book will explore
questions such as:

• What is the foundation of faith?
• Why is faith so important to God?
• How might we be increased in our faith?
• Why does God allow, and even desire, for our faith to be tested?
• How is God glorified by our faith?

From Genesis to Revelation the Scriptures reveal that Yahweh has been looking for
faith in the heart of man. The history of the 6,000 years of man’s existence has
revealed that faith has been a rare and precious thing. Far more men have lacked
faith than have possessed it. It has been a mere remnant of mankind that have found
God’s approval as they have manifested faith in Him. With these few God has been
well pleased. Their faith has brought glory to the God who created them.
