Walk by Faith

Walk by Faith
Daily Devotional for January 27

2 Corinthians 5:7 "For we walk by faith, not by sight"

Faith (Greek - pistis) means persuasion; credence; conviction of truth; truthfulness of God; reliance upon Christ for salvation; assurance; belief; believe.

Hebrews 11:6 "God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him"

The problems are many when we walk by sight. We see much too much negativity. This causes us to think wrong, and in turn we end up speaking wrong. When walking by sight our ears tend to pick up gossip, and in turn this causes us to judge others. When we walk by sight we tend to think ourselves better than the next person. This leads us to a prideful attitude. We say, "They aren't as smart as me" or maybe even worse.

When we walk by faith we learn what God has to say about us by reading the Word and sitting under a Spirit filled Pastor/Teacher. We are taught Philippians 4:8 by faith. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 becomes our standard as we walk in love. The just shall live by faith, we are revealed from faith to faith in Romans 1:17.

Love covers all sin. Salvation is a gift from God. Ask today that Jesus Christ would come in to your heart and redeem you from all your sins by faith in Him.

Bible References (KJV)

Hebrews 11:6 "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."

Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

1 Corinthians 13:1-13 "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."

Romans 1:17 "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."
