What It Means to Live by Faith
The righteous man shall live by faith.(Romans 1:17)
The Course (130 pages)
Have you ever prayed for something but were not sure how God would answer? Or have you ever been disappointed in His answer and wondered, “If God is going to do what He wants to do, why, then, should I even bother to pray?” Yet, that is what our heavenly Father expects of His children. He expects us to come to Him in prayer … believing.
WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM, FOR HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS AND THAT HE IS REWARDER OF THOSE WHO SEEK HIM. (HEBREWS 11:6)
How, then, is one to understand this life of faith? And how does he cultivate it in his own life?
To live by faith is a noble pursuit. Indeed, it is an extraordinary adventure. It allows believers to participate with a supernatural Person as He fulfills His perfect will. This, in turn, allows us to go through our normal, everyday routine with a sense of wonder and amazement. Through faith we are given:
God’s wisdom to respond to the various decisions before us, no matter how small or how large,
God’s power to minister to others,
God’s composure to respond to the world’s persecutions,
God’s purity & righteousness to respond to the various temptations we face,
God’s perseverance to respond to the everyday trials of life,
and God’s protection to respond to the attacks and oppressions of spiritual warfare.
This is (in part) the faith-life. To be sure, it is an extraordinary life, for by it the Almighty gives us a front row seat to watch Him transform an ordinary existence into something quite remarkable.
