Live by Faith
Hebrews 11:1-3
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
Hebrews 10:38
Now the just shall live by faith; but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Hebrews 10:38
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.
If we are to please God, have a good life and have a relationship with the Lord we must live by faith. The Christian life is a life of faith, hope and putting your trust in God. This faith is much more than mere belief but rather a confident action.
Faith knows only one direction, forward. If you backslide or wander from truth and joy, it is a lack of faith. Faith is key to having joy and peace.
Romans 10:17
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message and the message is heard through the Word of God.
If faith comes by hearing and hearing by preaching the Word of God, then preaching about faith should work. We must read the Word so we can grow in faith. We also need to be taught the Word by going to church and listening to our pastor. Your pastor has his own faith which will come through his preaching. Each person has their own level of faith and different life happenings that have grown their faith. Your faith is particularly based on you and your own life, beliefs and trust in God.
Faith is not something we need to learn: it is something we need to exercise, by taking a leap of faith and trust in God. Life is a roller coaster ride, we all have ups and downs in life. Afflictions and trial will come. Are you ready for them? Strong faith will not faint in adversity. Strong faith keeps God's commandments, believes every Word of God, and trusts His promises. Faith is a strong confidence in the promises of God.
Faith believes God so strongly that things hoped for become real and the invisible becomes seen. Faith trusts God completely. True faith is much more than bare belief, for its results in action
Galatians 5:6
For I Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
God has called us to a life of active obedience by faith, not bare belief. Faith believes every Word of God without question or compromise.
Now the just shall live by faith; but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

Isaiah 8:20
Consult God's instruction and the testimony of warning. If anyone does not speak according to this Word, they have no light of dawn.
Faith believes the Bible of what He has done, what we should do and what He will do. Faith pleases God, and you cannot please God without faith; consider Enoch and faith.
Hebrews 11:5-6
By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; He could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 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.
Love is greater than faith, for the Word of God declares it. But faith is the foundation.
1 Corinthians 13:13
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
We live and walk by faith, not by sight. Therefore, we act different than any others.
2 Corinthians 5:7
For we live by faith, not by sight.
Faith has four points
1. Obey the Word of God and keep its commandments
2. Pray to the Lord with all your heart.
3. Deepening your trust in God
4. Have outright visible faith
