Living By Faith
Isaiah 19-21; Hebrews 11
“…without faith it is impossible to please God…By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.”
Hebrews 11:6, 8
Faith is the fuel for a life lived on mission with God. Interestingly, it is as we burn this fuel through active obedience to God’s promptings and invitations each day that our faith grows, not diminishes. Abraham moved to a place God showed him and in the process he possessed his inheritance.
By faith, are we possessing our inheritance in God’s kingdom?
Faith pleases God because it operationalizes our convictions and confessional statements into everyday choices that please God. Without acts of obedience to God’s call, we don’t have a living faith, only religious theories. Each of us needs our own faith story of trust, obedience, and provision as we live on mission with God.
“Lord Jesus, you are my Shepherd and my example of living on mission by faith for the glory of the Father.”
