Category: Living by Faith

Living by faith is a challenge every believer faces. The Apostle Paul said. “Fight the good fight of faith”. That means faith is a fight and if there is a fight there has to be an enemy.   We need to develop our faith to defeat the enemies that try to defeat our faith.  The Bible instructs us four different times in four different books of the Bible in both the Old and New Testament “to live by faith”. Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, and Hebrews 10:38    If we are to successfully live by faith we will need to know what faith is, how to develop our faith, how to use our faith, and know who and what are the enemies of our faith.  Living by faith should be the desire of every believer, however it’s not always easy. These posts will help develop strength your faith so you can live by faith.  My prayer is you will grow in your faith and experience all the God has for you.  Enjoy.
