Romans 4:16 says the promises of God are received by faith however, faith has more components besides believing. James 2:20 says faith without works is dead. Galatians 5:6 says faith works by love. Hebrews 6:12 says faith is attached to patience.

With all this being known, to inherit the promises from God we need faith, patience, works, and love.

In order for us to receive these promises, some of us need to evaluate our lives. We need to ask ourselves are we lacking in any of these areas?
Faith: Do we need to believe God without doubting?
Works: Are we physically doing our part in the process to receive our desire?
Patience: Are we continuing to do what we know to do is right (over time) even if it seems what we’re doing is not working?
Love: Are we treating EVERYONE with the love of God? Have we forgiven our brother/sister who has wronged us?

It’s a lot of things to consider when we’re reaching for our promise. Activate these principles and watch God do the amazing.

Romans 4:16 So the promise is received by faith….
