WHAT EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD LIVE BY
“But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith”- Galatians 3:11
The Christian life can’t be lived successfully like the non-Christian life. For a Christian life to be lived successfully, faith is what is needed. The word of God is so clear about this, the word says, the just shall live by faith.
The just here are the righteous- the Christians, those that believed and confessed Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior, as they now have Jesus Christ as their righteousness. And the life of Christ they has is what makes them a righteous- the just.
And as the just, you are to live by faith. Living by faith here means our bases of decisions, believes and expectations should not be in the seen or physical things, but rather in what the word of God says. Living by faith does not regard the physical senses, because faith is not in the physical, it’s in the spiritual, that has stay on the word of God.
The word of God is the carrier of faith, for Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
So, it can be reframed again that The just shall live by the word of God. Such that anything the word says is what should be the mentality, thinking, believe and what a believer makes his decisions on.
Everything that makes a believer who He is in Christ is by faith, not by the physical senses. His salvation, righteousness, sanctification, justification, adoption, provisions, blessings, healing, everything is by faith. Which is believing in what the word of God says, it might not make sense to the head or hard and big to believe by the head, but that doesn’t change the validity of the word, it’s just that it won’t profit you, all you just need is to believe in it and live by it.
DECLARATION: The just shall live by faith, I’m a just and I live by faith, I live by what Gods word says, not by what my physical senses is saying, Glory to Jesus.
