~Focus for the month of June 2014: FAITH~

Morning Selah @ FR for today...

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Romans 1:16-17)


Those of us who have believed in the power of the gospel, who have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, are supposed to live by faith because it reveals God's righteousness both in us and through us.

What does it mean to live by faith? I think it means 2 things. 

First, to live in a manner worthy of the faith God has placed in our hearts.

Second, to live in an attitude of calm assurance that God is in control and will always do what's best for us because He loves us so very much. 

The just shall live by faith. 

Let's ask the LORD today to increase our faith and our faithfulness to live in a manner worthy of the faith He has placed within us.
