The just shall live by faith

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Roman 10:17

The just shall live by faith and not by senses. They shall live by what the word of Christ says about their lives and not based on their existing circumstances. Right believing will lead to right living. So faith and right believing are synonymous? The answer is a resounding YES!

Faith is about receiving from God. How then can we receive from God if we don't have the right opinion of God? We need to believe right in order to live right. I'm all for right living but right living stems from right believing! When we have a good opinion of God, we will see manifestations of God's promises in our lives.

What then is having a good opinion of God? It is nothing more than believing God is good toward us. The bible says the Lord has thoughts of peace and not of evil and a good future and hope for His people. We just believe this truth and appropriate this truth into our lives and live the victorious life that Christ has died at the cross to give to us. We can live life knowing God is taking care of all our issues, big or small, on our behalf.

We can look to Christ for all our needs! We can cast all our cares upon Him for He cares. The bible says those who are heavy laden can draw close to Jesus for He shall give them rest for His yoke is easy and His burden light.

Child of God shall live life like the manna principle. What's that? It is the principle of living one day at a time and to live the now moment knowing God's grace is there on a daily basis to see us through in our daily walk on earth. Beloved of the Lord, God wants us to live a carefree life! God wants us to live life trusting in His goodness and mercy everyday.

Therefore, the just shall live by faith. Live life knowing God has taken care of everything in our lives. If it is a life threatening medical condition, knows that Jesus has taken that medical condition on His body and by His stripe, we are already the healed of the Lord! If it is a bad financial situation, knows that Jesus was made poor at the cross that we through His poverty shall be made rich! Hallelujah!
