“Living By Faith”

 “Living By Faith”

 

It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance.  He went without knowing where he was going.  And even when he reached the land God promised him, he LIVED THERE BY FAITH.  Hebrews 11:8 & 9

 

Abraham, the MAN of FAITH, our scripture tells us that when God called Abraham to LEAVE HOME and GO to ANOTHER LAND, a LAND that was to be his INHERITANCE.  Abraham didn’t have a CLUE as to WHERE he was going, but he OBEYED GOD and packed up EVERYTHING he owned and he LEFT his and SARAH’S families, and ALL they had and went wherever God led them. 

Abraham, LIVED BY FAITH, because he was like a FOREIGNER, living in tents, in a land that God had PROMISED him.   Abraham, TRUSTED GOD, with a STRONG, UNFAILING FAITH.  He could do this because he was yearning for another CITY—-one whose ARCHITECT and BUILDER is the LORD GOD, ALMIGHTY.  Abraham had his FOCUS on the SPIRITUAL and LOOKING for the PHYSICAL.  Abraham’s FOCUS was on the HOLY CITY of GOD. 

Mankind usually don’t know what God is doing in their life.  And they FOCUS more on the PHYSICAL, and what they KNOW, then TRUSTING in not ONLY the ARCHITECT of the ETERNAL CITY, but also the ARCHITECT of the OPPORTUNITIES in their lives.  When this is the case, they become DISCOURAGED, which can CAUSE FALTERING FAITH.  And they will MISS OUT on the BLESSINGS GOD has waiting for them.  HOW is YOUR FAITH?? 

When a CHRISTIAN is FOCUSED MORE on WORLDLY THINGS and ASPIRATIONS, and neglect the SPIRITUAL THINGS in their life, it can become a CALAMITY.  The TRUE CHILD of GOD should follow Abraham’s example by putting THEIR TRUST solely in GOD PLANS and INTERVENTION. And TRUST Him to do what’s BEST for THEM!

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to GOD, through the SHED BLOOD of His ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST who GAVE His LIFE to SAVE your SOUL from an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  And to MISS OUT on an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  This is what you MUST do in order to become a CHILD of the LIVING GOD.  You MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, Jesus Christ.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and start LIVING BY FAITH, until He RETURNS.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
