Faith an anchor

Faith an anchor

 

Galatians 2:20 “I am crucified with Christ;

it is no longer I, who lives, but Christ, Who lives in me;

and the Life I live now in the flesh I live by faith  in

the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me”.

 

2nd Cor. 5:7 “for we walk by faith, not by sight”

Romans 1:17 “for in the Righteousness of God is revealed

from Faith to faith; as it is written, “the just shall live by Faith”.

 

Faith is anchored in the One ... in whom he believes

Faith looks not at what happens but from whom he receives

Faith establishes a relationship with God Who retrieves

Faith under-girds what was lost and strengthens our belief

 

Faith does not regard feeling for it is concerned with God

Faith follows the One believed; it beholds and rests in God

Faith’s life is unchanging ... unchanging as God Himself

Faith never alters attitude ... it is always content in God

 

Feeling turns on how one feels ... it beholds one-self

Faith expresses self ... the same in dark or light

Emotions induces a saint to live for himself

but the pathway of faith is exclusively for God’s delight

 

The interest of God is more important than one’s own

To obey the will of God is more important than one’s own

To live by sight and feeling or self-pity should be gone

If one lives by faith, not joy ... the battle will be won

 

A saint should not bitterly cry as bereft of life

Whenever he feels cold and dry ... empty or feels pain

For life itself is spiritual and should be void of strife

Remember divided in oneself ... leaves nothing left to gain
