Ephesians 2:8
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-
Faith is one of the common words nowadays that are often
used wrongly. In fact, many believers start to see Faith as Positive Thinking,
worse, as self-actualization.
According to the Words of God, Faith is a pro-active
response from the heart of a person who truly desires to accept Christ as Savior,
and to follow Him as Lord.
Faith is originated from the hearing of the Words of God (Romans 10:17).
Faith is never based on our personal needs and wants as
human beings.
Thus, Faith isn’t Self-Actualization and Positive Thinking.
Because the purpose of Faith is to enable us as God’s
Children to live in a way that we become more like Christ every single day (John 14:12).
For
the sole purpose of God’s grace is for us to become perfect like Our Father in
Heaven.
Faith means putting on God’s glasses in our paradigm,
instead seeing this world from our own.
Because God said that if we truly love Him wholeheartedly, we
do not need to worry at all about what we are going to eat, what we are going
to wear, and where we are going to live.
The power of faith granted upon us is
not destined for our needs and wants, but is greatly destined for the work of
salvation in us and the people surround us.
Let’s stop abusing the words of faith in our lives and start
using it properly, to propel our lives in working on our salvation faster and
greater than before so that we, eventually, become Christ-like.
