Romans 1:17 tells us: “The just shall live by faith.” As you read the 11th chapter of Hebrews, you encounter the phrase “By Faith” 18 times as it tells us how the saints of the past lived their lives.
Living a life of Faith is not an option, it is a command. It’s how God expects His people to live. It’s a life dedicated to HIM. It is a life of Faith that…
HONORS GOD - Faith acknowledges God. Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Faith honors God by obedience to His Word in all we do and all we say. It is to believe in God and seek Him with all of our hearts. Psalms 96:8 tells us to, “Give to the Lord the glory due His name.”
IMPRESSES OTHERS - When we live by faith, those who observe our manner of living will be impressed to the point that they may ask of us “…a reason for the hope that lies within us.” It gives us an opportunity to be a witness for Christ, to tell them of His love and purpose for their lives in Christ Jesus.
MAKES ME A BETTER CHRISTIAN - Faith is Christ dwelling in our hearts filling us “with all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:17-19) Faith in our hearts will fulfill God’s purpose for our life.
