Go Out in Faith, with Love and Humility

Faith to me is first and foremost in God. It is an action word, experiential in meaning. Faith is practiced in trust. Trusting God takes many forms. In all ways, it depends on us. He has promised many things. We need only to live for Him to receive His gifts and blessings. God has a life for us to live, live with God in your presence at all times and soon you will realize that you are living in His. Then you will be in His will: that is, close enough to Him to hear His voice telling you what He wants for you and from you. And there you will see how and where you can practice your faith trusting in God.

God has given us the Bible and He tells us to seek Him and His righteousness. God has given us His son Jesus who has delivered us from a life lived in our own effort; ending in eternal separation from God, to a life lived for the God who made us “in His image”. Believe in Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit, enter in to His courts with praise and thanksgiving for if you do you are saved. The Lord God is one God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Seek God to live in His presence.

Read the Bible and learn why we are imperfect and how God has used imperfect people to do great things. See that God blesses those who believe and trust in Him. Understand that trust builds upon itself. The more you trust God for, the stronger your faith grows as you see Him work in your life providing everything you need. Ask God who gives to all men generously and without reproach. Come as you are, enter in, and begin the sanctification process. Press On.
