Living by Faith

Deuteronomy 19-21; Galatians 3 

“You are all sons of God through faith in Jesus Christ, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

Galatians 3:26-29

Faith in Christ for salvation is the great equalizer in the world. Our skin color, gender, family history, education, income, address, and physical capacity make no difference to how we approach God. What matters is our faith in the completed work of Jesus Christ on the cross for us. By faith we become children of God and part of his family. By faith we are now one in Christ, unified by our common need for Christ and his indwelling Holy Spirit. By faith we inherit the promises given to Abraham that we will be blessed by God so we can become a blessing to the nations. By faith we are heirs of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Are we living each day with full dependency on Christ in all things?

After beginning our new life in Christ are we now trying to grow, serve, or change in our own strength?

Faith in Christ requires us to rely on his Holy Spirit to finish the good work he began in us.

“Lord Jesus, this day, my faith is in you and in your Spirit to live your life in and through me, for your glory.”
