In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:1-3
But say in a word, and my servant shall be healed…When Jesus heard these things, He marvelled at him, and turned Him about, and said unto the people that followed Him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. Luke 7:7-9
When Christ declares that you are righteous, then you are righteous.
It is Christ’s ability to create that measures the power He has as God. The gospel tells that the power that Christ used to speak entire worlds into existence, and to sustain them eternally, is the same power that is now exerted for the salvation of men. Redemption is creation. The same Almighty power is used. So, it is certainly safe to “Commit the keeping of your soul to Him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.” 1 Peter 4:19.
