Faith, your way of Life

Ephesians 2:8-9, as it is written,
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God – not the result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are what He has made us, created in Christ for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.”

God made you in His image, and after His likeness, therefore as God is full of faith, you too are full of faith. God’s own supernatural faith is inside you, given generously as a gift and God’s gifts are without repentance – they are not coming and going.

Romans 11:29, as it is written,
“For the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable.”

God’s words carry faith. When God called forth light even before He created its source (Genesis 1:3), that was a demonstration, for us, of faith. God calls into existence the things that do not exist (Romans 4:17) and we, by faith, can do the same because we have been given that same ability.

Created in Christ, you have the full measure of faith inside you, God’s own faith (Ephesians 4:5); if it’s a part of God, it’s a part of you. The same faith that was in Christ Jesus is the same faith that is living inside you, God’s own faith.

Today, right now, begin to live by that faith, the faith of Jesus Christ. Let faith be your way of life.

Amen †
