READ: Habakkuk 2:4; Hebrews 10:38-39
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. ” – Galatians 2:20
Many people think that to have faith is simply to confess that they possess many earthly possessions. This is a warped and perverted understanding of what faith is. Faith is far more than your confession.
All through the Scripture it is clear that the life you live is the real revelation of your faith level. A person who throws himself into fulltime business and occasionally gives an offering is at a certain level of faith. Another person throws himself into fulltime business and regularly pays tithes reveals yet a higher level of faith.
Faith is your life! The life you live is the faith you have!
If you live your life out in full-time ministry it is because of the faith you have.
If you live your life out as a missionary in a foreign country, it is because of the faith you have. You believe that eternity will reward you far more than any temporary rewards on this earth.
If you live a life of doing earthly politics it is because of your faith in politics and human achievements. If you live your life out as a businessman, it is because of your faith in money and earthly achievements.
If you continue to quarrel and harbour grudges, it is because of your beliefs in the way to rectify things. Your ability to forgive and leave things to God reveals how much you believe in God and His Word. If you live your life singing secular music to secular audiences it is because of your beliefs.
What you do with your life reveals what you really believe in. Your whole life is an expression of your faith in God. The life you live is an expression of your faith.
