” It is through faith that a righteous person has life.” Romans 1:17
” For we live by believing and not by seeing.” 2 Corinthians 5:7
Faith is the result of believing that Jesus died for our sins and made a way for us to be right with God. As children of the living God, we live lives by believing and not by seeing. We must trust and obey God and not trust what we can see and feel around us. For many of us this is a major change in our lives. It is a trend that we must work hard at. We must stay embedded in his word and focus on him daily. We must understand and believe that the death of Jesus on the cross was the beginning of our journey. It was with his death and resurrection that we received everything we need to live lives that are in right standing with God in heaven. As we continue to study his word and go to him in prayer, we should begin to reflect Jesus and reveal him to this world. People should begin to see his reflection in our lives. They should see him in how we handle our problems and how we resolve conflicts around us. Our faith must show a quiet confidence that our God in heaven is working in our lives, and no matter what the situation is, he is working out all things for the good of those who love him. To strengthen our faith, we must spend regular time in his presence with prayer and praise. We must meditate on his many thoughts and promises for our lives, and we must stay connected to the Holy Spirit to speak to our hearts. Jesus gave the ultimate for you and me to have faith that can be nurtured and grow. He gave it all so that we can live lives knowing that our God in heaven is in control. He died so that you and I can live our lives here on earth fulfilling the plan he has set forth for each of us. He gave his life so that we can live in faith! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
