======================================================================== THE LIFE OF FAITH by J.G. Bellet ======================================================================== Summary: A life of faith is a life of dependence on God, trust in Him, and obedience to His principles and purposes. Topics: "Faith And Trust", "Christian Living" Scripture References: Galatians 2:20, Ephesians 6:16, Hebrews 11:6, James 2:26, 1 John 5:4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ J.G. Bellet emphasizes that in the 'life of faith,' it is not just about depending on God or having confidence in Him; it involves a dynamic and energetic existence. True faith, as described in Scripture, goes beyond mere belief and trust in God. It encompasses understanding His ways, aligning with His principles, claiming His promises, experiencing His favor, obeying His commands, seeking His kingdom, achieving victories through His strength, and walking in His light. This kind of faith results in a life that reflects communion with God. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the "life of faith" we do not merely look for the principle of dependence on God or confidence in Him. It signifies much more. It is a life of large and various energies. According to God, or Scripture, faith is that principle in the soul which not only trusts Him and believes Him, it is also that which apprehends His way, acts in concert with His principles and purposes, receives His promises, enjoys His favor, does His bidding, looks for His kingdom, in His strength gains victories, and by His light walks in light. Thus it is ever exhibiting a life according to Him, or formed by communion with Him. ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/jg-bellet/the-life-of-faith/ ========================================================================
