The Life of Faith

.. Obedience of Faith – Brings Salvation

Romans 16:26

but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings  by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from faith

.. Living by Faith – For Sustenance

Galatians 2:20

I have been crucified with Christ  and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.  The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,  who loved me  and gave himself for me.

.. Walking by Faith – In Obedience

2 Corinthians 5:7

For we live by faith, not by sight

a passing whiff of insignificance."

'The Proof Is in the Doing' — John 8:30-32

What is the secret to knowing the truth? Doing what Jesus says! It isn't in discovering a new idea, coming up with a new plan, or going in search of some lost mystery. Knowing the truth is found in living Jesus' teaching. The proof is in the doing!

Prayer

. Lord, I confess that my faith is still small. I look at my problems and try to fix them with my ideas, human analysis, and earth-bound thinking. My kneejerk reaction to any trial I face is to figure out what I can do. Then, I turn to You later — when I've completely exhausted every human answer to my difficult situation. Forgive me. In the future, I ask that the Holy Spirit help me to lean on You. — to seek You in prayer, first. Your ways are far above my ways. Your solutions are always better than anything I can imagine and better than any method I can apply. Your ways accomplish Your purposes. From now on, Lord, please remind me to pray before I attempt any solution based on human wisdom. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
