The righteous will live by faith - Ro. 1:17.
It took me much time understand this wonderful scripture. At first I didn’t know how to live by faith.
When a man’s efforts have gone in vain, he comes to God and depend on God. He says, “God, I’m worn out. I did everything that I can, but no use, I failed. Now you are my only hope. Help me.”
Though he prays like that, he doesn’t believe in his heart that God helps him. He just cast his worries on God and leave it to him, whether he helps him or not.
In the mean time he says to his close friends, “I’m just living as I don’t like to die.”
This is condition of little faith believer. It’s not the right way a believer live. From the beginning, every believer must depend on God for everything.
For instance, I need money, I pray to God like this:
God, I need money. I believe you bestow me. I do believe you can help me in my need.
This is the way to live by faith. Whatever we need, even a tooth paste, you must take it to the lord and believe he helps us.
The woman, who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, thought, ‘If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.’ And she got the result she had believed.
Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering. - Mk. 5:28.
As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you”; and their sight was restored. - Mt. 9:27- 30.
We need such a faith to get things done. We must believe God helps in everything.
Jesus said, “Everything is possible for him who believes.” - Mk. 9:23.
Therefore, live by faith by depending on God for your every need.
