Walking By Faith, Living In Love

1 Timothy 1:14
…and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus.

When we are born again there are two very important elements that we find in our relationship with Jesus Christ. They are faith and love. Once born again we are to walk by faith not by sight, and we are to develop in the love of God that has been shed abroad in our hearts. These two elements are to become the central part of how we now live this new life we have been given.

We are to take the measure of faith God gives us and continue to develop and use our faith. Scripture teaches us that faith works like a mustard seed. It begins small, but as you continue to hear the preaching of the Word of God, you will learn of God’s will for your life, what He has provided for you. Faith begins where the will of God is known. You then use this faith by believing in and acting upon what God’s Word says.

We are to also walk in love, treating others the way we want to be treated no matter how they treat us. This requires action on our part based on the love of God that is now in our hearts. Faith is dependent on this love, for faith works through love. If you get out of love, your faith will not work for faith is of the heart. When we get out of love, we are not walking by faith but by our flesh. Continually develop your faith and walk in the love of God, and you can see this faith and love God has given to you change your life.
