Faith: The Lifestyle Of The Just

Now the just shall live by faith...
(Hebrews 10:38).
For the child of God, faith is not merely a one-off activity for getting something done; it's a daily, continuous lifestyle. There's really no other way to live as a child of God, but by faith. The Bible says "For we walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7). We conduct and regulate our daily affairs in life by functioning by the principle of faith. Thus faith is more than someone saying "I want to use my faith to get something;" it ought to be a daily lifestyle.

The Bible says: "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to Cod must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6). To please God is to live by faith everyday. God expects that your outlook on life should be from the standpoint of faith. There should be a confidence in your spirit when you're confronted with challenging situations, for you know that your faith will always prevail.

It takes faith to be born again; this is what makes faith the way of life of the just. The Bible says we "...look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:18). You must live as a man or women of faith everyday, by disregarding the earthly, transient, temporal circumstances, and focus on eternal realities. Like your Father, call real the spiritual realities which you're yet to see with your optical eyes. This is the lifestyle of the child of God.

Confession
I'm a faith-child of a faith-God! I live my life everyday from the standpoint of faith. I refuse to depend on the information from my physical senses. I see the way God sees; I speak the way God speaks, therefore I live in dominion over the world and its systems, for my faith is the victory that has overcome the world. Hallelujah.
