Faith God can work through…

[Brakelite]

That's what I've found!

So then, understanding our deep need now, not walking by sight, where everything seems good, but to recognize the continuing hopelessness of our state without Him, without His forgiveness, without His love, we then rely more heavily upon Him. Drawing near to Him, He draws near to us.

Much love!!!

KJV John 15:5
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

 

[Ronald Nolette]

And I'd say to exercise our faith is to simply assume to be true the things we are told in Scripture.

Assuming we are free from sin. Assuming we are completely forgiven. Assuming we are oh so very beloved of God. Assuming He is here with me Right Now, upholding me, guiding me, loving me.

Much love!

I would not say assuming- but knowing. chrisatian faith is not a hope so, but a know so that governs who we are and how we live.

Very true!

The reason I used the word "assume" is because, well, speaking for myself, I needed to assume something to be true that I didn't "feel" the innate confidence that it was so. To me, "assuming" is having knowledge without evidence. It seems to me more of a "choosing faith" word.

I didn't really "know", I had not experienced such faith, or it's result. But I could assume that what God said about me was true. First I assumed, and now I know. Hopefully this will clarify what I mean!

Much love!
