Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). We as Christians are world overcomers. But the victory we have has been provided to us and not because of us. The bible says that the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in us (Romans 8:11). As God begins to bless others through us, His children, lets remember that the results we see here in this life is because of the one who lives in us and not because us.
Living by faith is something that cannot be done passively. Living by faith is an ongoing process. The bible tells us to “fight the good fight of faith” (1 Timothy 6:12) which tells me that faith in God’s Word is something that I’ll have to contend for. But in my contention for the faith, character is being built. Assurance in that which I’ve given my life over to is being reinforced. My beliefs are being established and testimonies of the goodness of God are being collected which can be shared with those who follow behind.
Faith lives in a realm of existence that’s outside of that which can be seen or touched. Faith thrives in a place where the senses cannot roam. So if I am to believe that which my senses are unaware of, there has to be a guide or roadmap to show me what exists beyond my senses. That roadmap is God’s Word. The bible is the substance, the tangibility, the evidence, the proof of the things we cannot see (Hebrews 1:11). Allow it to lead and guide you. Stand on God’s Word, for He shall surely bring it to pass in your life.
