Living Faith

Is your faith alive, confident, sure, certain, and unshakable in Him? That’s the goal and He’s the prize.

November’s Awakening, Day 9

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man would stake his life on it one thousand times. This confidence in God’s grace and knowledge of it makes men glad and bold and happy in dealing with God and with all creatures; and this is the work of the Holy Ghost in faith.

 —Martin Luther

Faith is the solid, unshakable confidence in God which is built upon assurance that He is faithful to His promises.  

 —Dr. David Jeremiah

So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. Galatians 3:9 NIV

according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. Ephesians 3:11–12 NIV

            Because of his deep faith in God, Abraham was willing to sacrifice his own son, Isaac, the very son God promised to him and Sarah as the one who would bring forth a multitude of descendants. How many of us have faith in God and His promises like that? How many of us have obedience to God like that? That’s faith alive, daring and confident, with unshakable devotion. Along with our spiritual growth and maturity, faith must become a relentless driving force within us to propel us ever closer to God.
