KEEPING THE FAITH

Good morning steemians. Today is a good day. I give thanks to God for keeping me alive to see a bright new day. Everything I do is nether by my power nor my strength. We all have our problems coming from different circumstances, but He as God has seen our problems and taken it from us. Sometimes, the prolonged problems without “quick” solution is a way of testing our faith in God, sometimes it might not be the best for you because God knows best.
The Christian life is supposed to be a life lived by faith. It is by faith that we enter into the Christian life, and it is by faith that we live it out. When we begin the Christian life by coming to Christ for forgiveness of sin, we understand that what we seek cannot be obtained by any other means than by faith. We cannot work our way to heaven, because nothing we could ever do would be sufficient. Those who believe they can attain eternal life by keeping rules and regulations—a list of do’s and don’ts—deny what the Bible clearly teaches. “But that no one is justified by the Law in the sight of God is clear, for, ‘The just shall live by faith’" (Galatians 3:11). The Pharisees of Jesus’ day rejected Christ because He told them this very truth, that all their righteous deeds were worthless and that only faith in their Messiah would save them.

If you just go to church, you will be a weak Christian and trials will make havoc of your life. But if you go to church AND read the Word every night, you will become a strong Christian. Most Christians do not read the Bible every day, so if all you do is go to Church, you will be a weak Christian.
Your beliefs don’t make you a better person, your behavior does. Your words mean nothing of your actions are the complete opposite. Having true faith in whatever it is you believe must be shown through actions, believing is only half the battle. Let your dreams be bigger than your fears, your actions louder than your words and your faith stronger than your feelings. God bless you all.
