Living By Faith Journey

Living By Faith Journey

Romans 1 : 16-17 - " For I am not ashamed of the gospel , for it is the power of GOD for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first , and also to the Greek . Because in it the righteousness of GOD , which is revealed from faith to faith , as it is written : " The righteous will live by faith . "
From Faith To Faith ! ! ! This famous phrase ever thrown Apostle Paul , in the paragraph above , but popularized , made ​​to be known again by Martin Luther , dignitaries and church reformer . Luther believed that sola fide , " faith alone " saved him . It was a struggle in his quest in life to understand what the Lord 's grace .
Faith is a process , a long journey of faith is the true believer , from faith to faith , the righteous will live by faith . Of course faith in the Gospel , Jesus Christ who has died, was resurrected and ascended to heaven , no more no less . Faith is not just a matter of how people can believe in , but also closely related to the problems of life , to travel and see life itself.
True life , obey the will and commandments of Jesus Christ , imitate and live like Jesus Christ , that's the life of faith . Certainly still attached in memory of how or when we experience a turning point in the spiritual life . One of the signer must be a repentance . At the time of repented believers will have faith in JESUS ​​CHRIST , SON OF GOD .
But if we realize that true faith does not come out of ourselves as independent , aka our own intentions and initiatives ? The Bible , especially in 1 Corinthians 12 : 3 - " So I want you to understand that no one speaking by the SPIRIT OF GOD , can say : " Cursed is JESUS ​​! " and no one can say that : " Jesus is Lord " except by the Holy Spirit . "
Verse which explains that faith is a gift that actually give the HOLY SPIRIT . Because no one else can believe in JESUS ​​CHRIST were it not for the HOLY SPIRIT . So , have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ was not the people's choice. Not because of the greatness of the human contribution , but all of it is the work of the Holy Spirit .
John also tells how the Holy Spirit convicts people of sin and guilt so on . Spirit people realize that he was a sinful man . Thus humans are also enabled to faith in Jesus Christ , faithful to the truth . Repentance begins believing in the gospel of faith , which is Jesus Christ himself. And that faith is a gift from the Lord Spirit , the Spirit who makes people able to believe, to believe , to surrender to HIM .
Not stopping there , the faith also continue to move forward . Falling-up , helter - skelter , but still progress to the summit . People can have faith and believe in the grace , people can live well in the keberimanannya His grace . Life of faith is not like reading a lot of people today who often associate it with wealth and success .
In the book of Corinthians , for example, faith and life in keberimanan not talking about the treasure . Corinthians describes the sinner as the poor , the sick, the pains are healed by the stripes of Christ , the Redeemer . In this context , one that is enriched by Christ .
Corinth was about to describe the people in his sinful condition is the poor , while those who are wealthy people who live in keberimanan . Being rich is not a number . That's also why the Lord Jesus said , for what we have all over the world , but the true loss of life . That's actually true riches of life . The world's wealth is actually nothing more than poverty and pemiskinanan . If it is GOD given wealth in this world , it is not a sin . Conversely , if we continue to live poor , the days of colored distress , it is not too disastrous .
True faith to help people lead to the right path , the right path . Form faith to faith , is what I live by the Gospel and the Gospel . This is a fun game . Where people live and play run what the will of HIS . True faith is to strengthen the pace of our lives , our faith shining on a dark road , faith enables people to see the truth .
Faith can see heaven help us , not themselves . Form faith to faith , do not know the truth from a knowledge of the truth . From the knowledge of the truth , to get to know the truth , that's the process . Life of faith keep moving . Faith color all steps of life . In the process of love, grief , faith played a role in it .
Faith does not mean definitely happy or rich continue to hold . Just look at the life of Job . The focus of the intersection of his life making Job as shaken . How not , treasure exhausted , the child dies , man goes , his wife leaves him , his health had declined rapidly . Is not that ironic . Being a believer but phenomenon like the condemned . Even so , all the things that happened to Job because he was righteous. Job is precisely because the Lord is near . This suggests that in the life of believers , who previously rich can become poor total . From healthy to sick , lost so many friends at all .
The same thing actually happened LORD JESUS ​​CHRIST . Paul , also not much different . The closer he is to the Lord , the more difficult his life . Thorn in the flesh was to bear. But the important thing is how Paul knew there was meaning behind a life of faith in its path : In my weakness , it is obvious force you, my Lord . That point. Therefore , only Christians crybaby who can not say , that what happens in my life it was the best for me .
Faith is a tremendous miracle . Able to change everything in life , so that it can be a blast misery joy and happiness . True believers do not make a fuss about the phenomenon , healthy or sick , rich or poor , but directs itself to the true faith . Therefore, if people call themselves believers , then it sepatutnyalah live in harmony with the faith , the will of the Lord .
From faith to faith , keep moving to lead righteous lives in the grace of GOD tasted great .
How does faith act and move .
Of do not know to be familiar with .
Of known then undergo joys and sorrows .
Of the joys and sorrows until the collision , but still faithful . Even continue to move toward the point of death . Faith is continuing to lead .
Staring death was still with faith .As Paul said , " Christ lives , death benefits " .
The just shall live from faith to faith .
Are there our guts , our desire to get there ?

Bless the LORD JESUS ​​.
