By Faith

This coming Sunday, I will complete my preaching series through the eleventh chapter of Hebrews - the faith chapter. We all know that God has called us to walk by faith and not by sight. Still, it would be so nice to see more than just a few feet in front of me. But I desire to be like Abraham who, by faith, left all that he knew for a place he had no knowledge of. He held firmly to the promises of God as if they had already come to be. Instead of existing in the familiar, Abraham chose to live the journey of faith. We show our faith in Christ by trusting Him with all that we are. It is then that He uses us as He used Abraham, Moses, David, Paul and so many others who yielded themselves to His will. The Bible is filled with examples of men and women who went from existing to living a life of faith. So, are you existing or living? You've never really lived until you live by faith.

"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Jesus Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." Galatians 2:20

In His Grace,
