“How to Walk By Faith”
II Corinthians 5:7
The Apostle Paul lets us know that as believers we walk by faith, and not by sight, because faith is a progressive force in our lives. Faith is the key to a progressive life in God.
When you learn to walk by faith, you will never be at a standstill, even though it may look like it.
Walk – to be in a constant motion; to go or advance; to move by steps.
Psalms 37:23 says, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delighted in His way.”
If we are going to keep stepping with the Lord, we have to do it by faith.
One of the first keys to walking by faith is to know that faith is not determined by what you see. It is determined by what you hear.
The bible says in Romans 4:18 that Abraham who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken.
His faith was not in what he saw, but it was in what he heard.
Another key to walking by faith is staying tapped into what keeps your faith strong.
Some Christians struggle with walking by faith, because they have allowed their faith to get weak.
Whenever our legs get weak it is hard for us to continue to walk. The same is true with our faith.
How do we keep our faith strong? Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
We must continue to hear the word of God on regular basis.
One of the ways that you hear is through a true man or woman of God who preaches the word.
Romans 10:14-15 says, “How shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach except they be sent?”
Another way is to study the word of God. Stay tuned for Part 2 on “How to Walk by Faith.”
