How Faith Really Works!

How Faith Really Works!

The Apostle Paul writes, “faith works by love.”  This simple, profound statement by Paul has been misunderstood by many believers. Some believe that for your faith to work, you must walk in love.  If that is true, then no one could ever be saved, because to receive God’s grace, they first have to walk in love, to have the faith to be able to receive God’s grace.  How can people who don’t know God walk in His love so their faith might work?  The truth is, it isn’t our love or ability to walk in love that causes our faith to work; it is knowing and believing in the ONE who loves you perfectly and completely that does.

Knowing God’s character is what empowers you to trust Him!  The ability to trust someone isn’t based on your character but on theirs.

Faith isn’t a reward for good behavior; it is a response to knowing the love God has for you.

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, but faith working through love,”  Galatians 5:6

“And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
