    It's essential to recognize that faith in God is not only the foundation of our salvation, but it's also fundamental to our spiritual growth. It's easy to think that our faith is why God wipes away our sins, but after giving us a new start that we're on our own. In fact, it's natural to revert back from faith in God to faith in ourselves. But we're not called to live a "natural" life; we're called to a supernatural life! Scripture Used in Today's Message2 Peter 1:2-7Hebrews 11:7Galatians 3:2-3If you've not read my book, Takin' it to Their Turf. request a copy on my website, www.CampusAmerica.com.You'll be inspired, encouraged, and learn plenty about evangelism and spiritual warfare through the 70+ stories I share of my campus evangelism experiences.We send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email. Who do you know that needs to hear today's message? Go ahead and forward this to them, along with a prayer that God will use it in their life.To find Tom on Instagram, Facebook, TiKTok, and elsewhere, go to linktr.ee/tomthepreacher To support Tom Short Campus Ministries, click herehttps://www.tomthepreacher.com/support************ Do you want to have all your sins forgiven and know God personally? *********Check out my video "The Bridge Diagram" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Kjwrlind8&t=1sCheck out my website, www.CampusAmerica.com, to learn more about my ministry and sign up for my daily email.
