Living by Faith

The Christian life is one guided by faith in God rather than reasoning or empirical knowledge. It's a life that looks beyond the obvious challenges and focuses instead on Christ. 

God is the ultimate source of everything humanity needs: breath, sustenance, mercy, salvation, healing, protection, progress, and support. He also has sovereignty over every situation, which makes it reasonable to rely on Him. 

Faith in God is paramount; it initiates and sustains our relationship with Him. The scripture states that it is impossible to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6), and Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." 

This kind of faith was exemplified by the likes of Ruth, Mary, Abraham, Noah, and Esther, who trusted God while awaiting His promises.

Living by faith begins with believing His word, as He is the Word personified and cannot lie. Romans 10:17 tells us that "faith comes hearing by the word of God." To cultivate faith in our hearts, we must engage with the Word through reading, preaching, prayer, meditation, memorization, and application. This engagement allows the Holy Spirit to reveal God's nature and power to us, fostering an intimate relationship with Him and opening our eyes to His unfailing promises. 

Our success as Christians is hinged on our understanding and application of God's word; it is the foundation of our faith. However, faith is lifeless without action. Scripture affirms that faith is made perfect through works. Though salvation is a free gift from God, it requires repentance and acceptance of Jesus. Similarly, you must have intimacy with your spouse to have promised children. To experience promised prosperity, you need to work diligently. May you find the grace to apply the necessary actions to your faith.

Benefits of Trusting God

God is faithful and has all it takes to make this year an awesome one for you. However, you must decide to diligently trust Him with every sphere of your life. Like Sarah, He has what it takes to give you your Isaac. Like Anna, He will keep you spiritually healthy and strong. Like Ruth, He will expand your horizons. 

As His chosen, he will fight your battles and take you to your promised land. In a nutshell, He will bless you with all your heart's desires this year and beyond.
