Faith Is An Action

Faith requires action on your part. First you must declare that you believe in God
and in Jesus. Salvation is a gift God freely gives, to all who repent and turn from their
sins, and choose to believe in Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith...
Ephesians 2:8. Faith is believing that you have something, before you see the
desired result, or the thing that you are seeking. Your lifestyle should change, always
striving to glorify God. Your words and your actions, should line up with what God
Says, and you should no longer be led around by your sinful thoughts, desires,
emotions, or feelings. Faith requires you to trade your old, sinful, worldly life, for a
brand new life, glorifying and serving Jesus Christ. You show God that you believe
Him by producing good fruit. Trust, acknowledge, and submit to God, and no longer
lean on your own wisdom, knowledge, abilities, or understanding. See Proverbs 3:5-6.
Unbelief is when you choose to deny God or Jesus. Whenever you stop fully believing
in God, Jesus Christ, or in any of Gods Promises contained in Gods Word, you will
cause a breach, or separation, between yourself and God, which is called sin.
...whatsoever is not of faith is sin. Romans 14:23. It is Gods Desire that you
continually walk in unbroken faith, never giving any entrance to sin by doubting Him.
See James 1:2-8. Many people get in trouble and pride, by choosing to rely on their
own wisdom, instead of always trusting in God, and in Jesus Christ, abiding with Him.
Apart from Jesus, you can do nothing. See John 15:4-10. Jesus expects that you will
demonstrate your faith, by your obedience to Him. Faith is essential to pleasing God.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. But
without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe
that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:1,6.
Faith is acting on Gods Word, and requires you to have knowledge of Gods Word.
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans
10:17. Be careful: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge... Hosea 4:6.
Diligently spend time every day pursuing God, and Jesus Christ, in prayer and Bible
study. If you seek after, and draw near to God, He will draw near to you. How you
approach God matters. You need to treat every encounter with God with worship and
with reverence. ...God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit
yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh
to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify
your hearts... James 4:6-8. The Christian walk is one of faith and perseverance.
Glorify God by walking in love, faithfully following after Jesus in every area of your life.
Demonstrate you believe Gods Word is always true by hearing and acting on it.
It is impossible for God to lie! ...hath he said, and shall he not do it? Numbers 23:19.
Show that you love and glorify God by keeping His Commandments. See John 14:15.
