NEW LIFE IN CHRIST – LESSON 8
Faith – A Word or a Lifestyle
Let’s examine what Faith is. According to Hebrews 11: 1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” faith has substance. It is something that is real not just some magical mist in the air. So let’s look at faith through the window of what has happened to you…your New Life in Christ. You have trusted, placed you faith in Christ for your “New Life.” Galatians 2:20 sums up what placing your faith in Christ (the substance) has done for you as well as the rest of your journey until you meet Jesus face to face in eternity. It says “I have been crucified with Christ: and it is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and delivered Himself up for me.” You are already exercising your faith by placing you r trust in what Christ did for you on the cross. And now you continue to do the same, placing your trust, your faith to live this new life…a new lifestyle. Christ now lives inside of you, never to leave, but always to enable you to live for Him. How exciting it is to know that Christ lives inside of you! (The evidence) is what others see and will continue to see in you as Christ demonstrates Himself to others through your life.
