What this talk is about
Righteousness by faith is one of the key messages of the New Covenant and the gospel of Jesus Christ. You cannot buy, earn, work for, or do anything for it but accept it. It is a free gift from God.
Faith is the key to receiving all of the gifts of God and it is by faith that God chose to declare people righteous. Those who believe that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Jesus from the dead are reckoned righteous. It is a surprisingly simple concept, and it had to be that way so that it is accessible to all people in whatever state they are in.

23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
8. Operation of Spiritual Gifts.
27 If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn; and let one interpret. 28 But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silence in church and speak to himself and to God. 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said. (1 Corinthians 14:27-29)
9. Anointing with oil for the sick
13 Is any one among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise. 14 Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. (James 5:13-15)
