Learning to Live by Faith

Matthew 14:28  

“Lord, if it's you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

1. Faith enables us to live above common trials

2. Faith tests the waters between the known and the unknown

3. Faith realizes that underneath are the everlasting arms of God

Ravi Zacharias quotes 

.God, Word, Themselves

We all want Canaan without going through the wilderness.

. Wilderness

My premise is that the popular aphorism that 'all religions are fundamentally the same and only superficially different' simply is not true. It is more correct to say that all religions are, at best, superficially similar but fundamentally different.

. Best, True, Simply

Only through repentance and faith in Christ can anyone be saved. No religious activity will be sufficient, only true faith in Jesus Christ alone.

Faith Quotes

Smith, Sydney – “It is always right that a man should be able to render a reason for the faith that is within him.”

Stott, John R. – “Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.”

Teller, Edward – “When you get to the end of all the light you know and it’s time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.”

Thackeray, William M. – “Tis not the dying for a faith that’s so hard… ‘Tis the living up to it that’s difficult.”

Fear 

Deuteronomy 3:2  

The LORD said to me, “Do not be afraid of him, for I have handed him over to you with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.”

Deuteronomy 3:22  

Do not be afraid of them; the LORD your God himself will fight for you.”

Deuteronomy 4:10  

Remember the day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, when he said to me, “Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children.”
