What Is The Price To Live By Faith?
To say we believe in Jesus and not pursue Him, to be like Him, makes us a hypocrite.
Pursuing Jesus means living by faith. What does it mean to live by faith? It refers to a lifestyle based on the foundation laid by Jesus Christ.
Any other way of life is hypocrisy for the believer.
There's a reason why living by faith is compromised. It goes against the worldly philosophy of life. The world does not know Jesus, and creates its own culture on the go. This dissonance is much more evident today as we near the coming of Christ.
Those who desire to go in the rapture are willing to reject the world and its philosophy.
THERE'S A PRICE TO LIVING BY FAITH
When Jesus walked the earth, we see what He faced as one doing God's will.
If I had not done among them the works (attesting miracles) which no one else [ever] did, they would not have [the guilt of their] sin; but now [the fact is that] they have both seen [these works] and have hated Me [and continue to hate Me] and My Father as well.
John 15:24
Wherever Jesus went, signs and wonders followed. Jesus reminds us that wherever a believer goes, signs and wonders will follow. But at what cost? There will be people who hate you.
The most important question of the time is, will you be found in faith when Jesus comes?
Jesus walked in love and spoke the truth, yet was hated like no other. Dear Believer, are you ready to be hated as you love others like Jesus? We can when we remain fully submitted to Him daily.
Refresh, restore, renew, and refine your life with the power of the Holy Spirit. Live by faith. Jesus is coming soon.
Maranatha, Praise God, and Amen.
