The Spirit of Faith

Paul wanted Christians to be convinced of the Lord’s oath to fulfill all of His promises and be sure of the truth of the Christian religion that all faithful believers speak and testify of. Our deliverance is from God and He does not fail in the lives of those who trust in Him! He saves to the uttermost those that come to Him through faith in Jesus Christ! Faith must be received gladly in the hearts of those who sorrow over their sin in repentance. Paul experienced what it meant to carry about the dying of the Lord Jesus so the life of Christ would be manifested. Even though our outward man is perishing the inward man is being renewed day by day. We must have faith! We cannot look to the light affliction of the moment but the eternal by faith. We must see the excellency of His power! Unwavering faith in Christ produces manifestation of the truth. We must renounce the hidden things of shame and faithless living. We must not walk in craftiness or handle the word of God deceitfully. Our fallen state does not need to keep us alienated from God. The seed of Christ is the cure for the disease! Through faith in Christ our human nature can be changed! The Spirit of Faith keeps our hearts from fainting when we face the tests of life. We do not lose heart even though our outward man is perishing, but our inward man is being renewed day by day. Our actions either affirm or deny our faith. We must demonstrate our faith! Do you show the spirit of faith or the spirit of the world?
