It doesn't take long to realize the times are strange.
The times are very difficult and how to interpret these times.
As Christians you and I must do everyday life having complete faith in Jesus.
What does that look like?
Paul when writing his letter to Rome said something unique in chapter one verse 17: the righteous will live by faith.
What does Paul mean?
Starting in verse eight of Romans chapter one I believe we see a list of things that the righteous do to live by faith.
So let's establish a couple things; What does it mean to be righteous?
Righteous means people who are right with God through Jesus Christ.
Right with God means they have trusted Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sin, have become one with Jesus Christ in the waters of immersion, and are living out their daily life with Jesus as their master.
What does it mean to live by faith?
Read Galatians 2: 20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
To live by faith means I know Jesus loves me and I know He gave Himself up for me.
What does it look like in everyday life to have this kind of faith?
