2 Corinthians 5:6-8
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
While we are here we walk by faith, not by sight. If not then we are blind and how can we make it home to be present with the Lord, spending eternity with Him? How much more should we desire faith that we might see more clearly?
Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Galatians 5:6
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Faith cometh by hearing the word of God and worketh by love! I love my Lord and God with all my heart, soul and strength! I trust in Him completely knowing that I am nothing and can do nothing without Him. Without my faith and trust in Him to lead me, what possibly could I do in this life of worth? Nothing. I need to study the word of God to show myself approved before Him that I might know His promises therein. Obeying the Gospel that is written as in Acts 2:38 I can receive the Holy Ghost. Thank you Jesus! If faith cometh by hearing the Word of God, how much of the Word should I soak myself in! The River of Living Waters!
Through the gift of the Holy Ghost, the Lord pours His Spirit into us, God dwelling in us! It is a river of Godly Love pouring into us, changing us, purifying us, preparing in us the perfecting of Godly Love in Christ Jesus! All because we have first submitted ourselves completely to Him in faith and love!
To walk by faith we walk with a comprehension of that which is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, four dimensions, having seen the depth of all which is the spiritual realm. That is the reality that we walk in and if one cannot see that, they are blind. Everything is spiritual! Lest our Lord open our eyes to that, we will walk by mere sight not seeing the Truth of the reality around us, being blind to that how might we find our way home?
We need for the Lord to give us the Spirit of Jesus Christ, when His love fills us and saturates us, we can step forward in faith more and more gaining confidence in our stride with him! Glory to God! He has laid a path of golden light at our feet, a very narrow path that we cannot follow except by faith! The faith of Jesus Christ is a gift of God, Peter walked on water as he walked on the faith of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! So can we! He will sanctify us, separating us from the muck and filth of this world. He will give us all we need to walk as we step forward in faith and love in Jesus Christ, guiding each step of the way as He is the Way, the Truth and the Life!
Our Father in Heaven is so very gracious, so very merciful unto us, Praise the Lord our God for all He has given all unto us that we might be made worthy through His Son, Jesus Christ! That we might be filled with all the fullness of God very God, having faith that we might see and He might guide us home to life everlasting with Him! Glory to God Almighty!
Ephesians 3:16-19
16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
