understanding living by faith

Reading through the new testament you hear Jesus saying. Your faith has made you whole. believed in God and also believed in me, be it unto you has you believed, he that believeth on me. In this post below we are going to cover a lot of ground on this' that the scripture says we should live by. (faith) because if a thing is not importance God won't have said we should live by it. "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith" (Roman1:17) has air is vital to living in this three dimensional world so is the word vital to our recreated human spirit. We need the word to survived in the spirit world. And the word have a lot more about how we can have faith and make it our way of life.
       
        FAITH IS A WAY OF LIFE
"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible; by the word of God, which lives and abides forever"(1peter1:23) at the new birth, the scripture says we were not born again by a mortal origin, that is a divine seed were sowed, in  your heart. And that is the word of God. John1:13 says we were not born. Of the will of the flesh, or of the will of man but of God"
         So you can see that what you were born of ought to hold much importance to your living. The word of God and faith is like water and wet, when the word says you should live by faith, it's absolutely saying live by the word. " because faith come by hearing and bearing by the word" you can't separate then. Will are to give the most earnest heel to the word  because that how will were born: and that how will are to sustained our being.

 The apostle Paul at is last journey to the Ephesians. " said brethren, I command you to God, and to the word of his grace which is able to build you up and give you and inheritance among all then which are sanctified "(Act20:32) when this scripture says the word is able to give you an inheritances, it mean the word is able to deliver your inheritance to you,  imagine that your parent left some inheritance to your account.  And you couldn't claimed it because it required some evidence. What did you have to do? You sort out and attorney to go in on your behalf and present the right documents that shows the inheritance is rightly yours. Before you can possess the inheritance.

 The lawyer did not give you the inheritance he help you get it. Because it was all yours before all the process went. By reason of the new birth we have inheritance in Christ Jesus. The word says " according to his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and Godliness, through the KNOWLEDGE of him that has called us to Glory" (2peter1:23) how does you has the knowledge of something? It comes when you hear of that thing. Either through reading or listening. It says God has given us the ALL THING.  But we must first possess the knowledge before possess the ALL THING. When will have the personal knowledge of God you don't still  have to struggle for things. Because is word is his will.
           
      WHY IS FAITH IMPORTANT
The very first thing that I want to emphasized on is the importance of faith. Nothing is more importance to a person after salvation than to study how to walk by faith. And to know how it's works. I'm not saying that faith, exclude all other spiritual things,  as though they were not important,  but rather an saying that is the number one priority in sequence to all other things.

  "For in it the righteousness's of God is revealed from faith to faith: as it is written," the just shall live by faith," anything you are called upon to live by certainly demonstrate is importance if you are called upon to lived by faith how importance can it be.  How can you lived by it effectively if you don't know to get it.

         FAITH COME BY HEARING
how in this word can God charge us to live by faith when there was no means to get it.  But God has not always take what we need  out of reach, we can developed our level of faith. It's possible. "Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of tyre and Sidon, and behold, a woman of Canaan come from the region and cried out to him, saying: HAVE MERCY ON ME, O LORD, SON OF DAVID! MY DAUGHTER IS SEVERELY DEMON POSSESSED."
       Why do you suppose this lady left her region and came to him.  And how she know that Jesus could help her! Because she hear, what does she hear? I don't know. But I know this man hear something about Jesus healing ministry. It takes faith for her to move from are region in searching for Jesus. Hearing is how we get the faith to reach out to God's supply.
           In Act the tenth chapter from verse one, an angel appeared to a certain centurion the bible says he was a devout man. But he have not known the way to salvation. "Cornelius, you're a devout man, God has heard your prayers, Now sent to Joppa and ask for Peter. He'll come, and tell you how to be born again," why did not the angel tell Cornelius the Gospel of salvation or just recreate this Good folk any other way. It could has been much More efficient than sending men on a two day journey (one way) to bring Peter back.
         God has intelligently plan it all. Somebody with a physical body must preach the Gospel. That's why Jesus give us the great commission in mark 16. "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believed of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher" (Roman10:14) no one can have any faith without this process "HEARING,HEARING" and hearing again. The seed of the word must be planted.
          FAITH IS ACTION
"BUT WHAT SAYS IT? THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, EVEN IN YOUR MOUTH, AND IN YOUR HEART! THAT IS THE WORD OF FAITH, WHICH WE PREACH; THAT IF YOU SHALL CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND SHALL BELIEVED IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU SHALL BE SAVED, FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVED UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS: AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION" (Roman 10:8-10)
        God create us all with a perfect will, after when the word is being heard you have to choose whether to believed or not. Our previous verse above says "with the heart you believed" and the word "heart" here is not referring to our blood bump. You can't believed God's word with any organ of your body, we can only believed spiritual truth with our spirit.  When the word said "I will give then a heart to know me" (Jeremiah 24:6) God is not saying he will do a organ "heart" transplant. But the spirit will received during the new birth is what the scripture is referring to.

 You believed with your heart and you act on what you have believed. It says with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Now you have to know that to confess is to do something, and faith is not all about hearing something but also doing something, when you receive the new birth you don't just hear the word. But after hearing it you went on to take action by acknowledging or confessing Jesus as the Lord of your life.

relationship with God

The majority of churches are teaching that God's love for us is conditional. They are misrepresenting his love, and it's one of the main reasons that we as Christians are so judgemental. And harsh toward other people, they tend to treat other people the way  they believe God is  treating them. A      One of the most important things about relationship is to understand the person with whom you're going to have relationship with. And that also applies To God. You need to understand the basic nature and character of God. In order to have a healthy relationship with him. Misunderstanding his character and nature is one reason many people don't have a relationship with God.         CREATED FOR GOD'S PRESSURE "Thou, art worthy.
