Walking by Faith

LINK

We talk about walking by faith, faith is a gift from God and allows us to access all the best of God for our lives, through faith we can be in the very presence of God at all times and places, through faith we reach emptiness and eternal life.

So we live always confident, and know that while we are in the body, we are absent from the Lord 7 (for we walk by faith, not by sight); 8 but we are confident, and would rather be absent from the body, and present with the Lord.

2 Corinthians 5:6-8

The word faith is frequently in our mouths but as it becomes common our vocabulary can become so familiar and common that we become immune to its meaning, that is why we must reconsider what this word "faith" implies.

If we think about it quickly, everyone has faith, for example: it takes faith or a little bit of trust to sit on a chair, so we see it and then we turn our backs on it, we certainly sit down trusting that it is there, that it does not move and that it is strong enough to support us, trusting that a piece of furniture is strong enough to support our weight and our movement is very different from trusting our life to the almighty God.

Faith is, then, the certainty of what is hoped for, the conviction of what is not seen.

Hebrews 11:1

Here we have a biblical definition of what faith really means, in fact this comes from God and the word also teaches us that without faith it is impossible to want God, and you mean that there is nothing so great that we can do to earn salvation nothing for Jesus Christ, the only way to earn salvation and have a life with Jesus is by putting faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, putting faith in that redemption in our favor, putting faith in the one who paid for our sins. This faith is not something we are born with and is inherent to human nature, this faith comes from God and is nourished through reading his word, through knowing God himself.

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

Ephesians 2:8

If you accepted God's gift of faith, I am sure that you have begun a wonderful journey on this earth, pointing towards eternity. And if you are still not sure that you have placed your life in the hands of Jesus Christ, I invite you to do so with complete certainty and security. Let us ask God to reveal His word to you, to reveal to us that confidence, that faith that only He can give through His Holy Spirit by means of His word.
