Faith is such a simple thing. It's not religious. Not complicated. It doesn't require a 10-step plan. Jesus compares faith to small children. I love that. We use faith every day for all kinds of things without even thinking about it. Driving. Breathing. Walking. Life. We don't wonder what will happen when we roll over in bed and put out feet on the floor in the morning... We just know that our legs will carry us. No question. Faith in God works quite the same way. We just know. The Bible says that God has placed eternity in all our hearts (Ecclesiastes 3:3 - "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end")
.... when your faith links up with that incomparable longing, you will find yourself in the deepest relationship with the Creator of the world...
So we are made right with God through faith and not be obeying the law...
...well then, if we emphasize faith does that mean that we can forget about the law? Of course not! In fact, only when we have faith do we truly fulfill the law...
...Abraham believed God and God counted Him as righteous because of his faith...
...Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing!
Wow --- a God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing!! I'm in love :)
You are so faithful. I love you!
