Faith is a Verb

FAITH IS A VERB



"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him" Heb 11:6

Faith is a verb not a noun. Faith is an action not a possession. There is a world of difference between those who talk faith and those who take action. God desires us to step out in faith (or action) for His kingdom and His purposes. In fact, scripture says if we want our life to be pleasing to God we must be stepping out in faith.

This means that you and I can be a good moral person, do what is expected - read our Bible, go to church, mind our P's and Q's, and even serve our community...but if we are not living by faith, you and I may not be very pleasing to God.

I believe everyone's Christian life is marked by windows of opportunity that demand a radical step of faith in order to follow Christ and fulfill His purpose. Our walk with Christ is defined by our response to such opportunities - will we step out in faith or shrink back?

"But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him" Heb 10:38

Where do you sense God challenging you to step out in faith? There is no "diet" Christianity. God wants us, expects us, to break out of our comfort zones and take radical steps of faith that bring Him glory and build His Kingdom.

Remember, risk is different for everyone. What one calls risk may mean little to someone else or vice versa. Faith can not be defined by measuring ourselves to others.

I encourage you to make a decision to please God. Be willing to take a risk for God's Glory and step out of your comfort zone for His Kingdom.

Remember, Faith is a verb, not a noun!
