Author and Finisher of our Faith

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith (Heb. 12:2 KJV)

Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith!

As the Author, He is the One who first establishes our faith. He is our Trailblazer. Not only is He the Founder, but He is the very essence of faith. The last verse of chapter 11 list the heroes of faith, but also states that these Old Testament heroes could not be made perfect without us. Why? Jesus had not yet come! True faith is anchored on Jesus. The very revelation of Who He is births faith in the heart of man. Here is your secret to developing great faith: Keep looking on Jesus. This means constantly receiving revelation of who He is and keeping your attention on Him.

But He is also the Finisher or Perfecter of our faith. Faith begins and is brought to maturity in Him. A perfecter or finisher is someone who brings something to perfection or full maturity. Our faith begins as Jesus is first revealed in our hearts and matures to start producing results as Jesus is revealed in our hearts! Faith matures in the atmosphere of Jesus!

Keep looking, continuously receiving revelation of Him, remaining focused on Him, and you will see your faith soar! Faith is not a human product. It is a divine work on the heart of man, so you can’t work or struggle to get faith. Just keep looking at Jesus and the Spirit will do the rest!
