Religion strips you of all power. Faith in God’s word equips you to for every good work.

Religion does not know what God’s will is, therefore, it cannot stand in faith. This means you are stripped of all power. For we overcome in this world with our faith (1 John 5:4).
Faith understands redemption and that God’s word is His will. Faith girds its soul with truth by meditating on the word. Faith is equipped to do the works of God. Faith is equipped to represent God as an ambassador in all His glory so that God is glorified on this earth.
