Rm4

How real is your faith?  Are you willing to stake your life on it?  Romans is clear that it is by "faith" that anyone is justified before God.  It is also clear that faith, though it is the essential ingredient, is not stagnant.  Faith cause one to act.  Faith is not mere belief, it is the actions resulting from belief.  

Based on activity alone, how do you feel about your faith?  I am not saying that activity is faith.  I am saying that activity is a measure of faith.  By faith Abraham believed God.  By faith Abraham was credited with righteousness.  AND by faith Abraham lived and acted on the commands of God.

This is the pattern of true faith.  It is to be the pattern of our lives.  Live by faith today.
