| Faith Alive – Part 2

Every believer’s most significant need is spiritual maturity.  Many times, as believers we do not realize the significant impact an unsanctified or carnal lifestyle is having on our life here on earth.  As Christians, we are called to live a sanctified life, a separated life or you might say a holy life.  There are many thoughts that go through people’s minds when you talk about a holy life, or a life set apart, but I want to look at the Scriptures to help us understand this better.

In this series, as we allow the Word of God to transform our thinking we will see the Godly potential of a sanctified life.  Then as we walk out these truths in our day-to-day life we will experience the results of a sanctified life.

Living a sanctified life is like living in the promised land, living a carnal or unsanctified life is like living in the wilderness.  I believe I am looking at a church that desires to live in provision rather than from miracle to miracle.

Part 2 – Abraham was justified by his faith.  Faith without corresponding action is dead, when Abraham obeyed God and went up on the mountain to sacrifice Isaac, he was declaring that his faith rested in God’s word alone and not in the promise of Isaac before him.  When our faith develops to the point where we are convinced by the Words of God alone we know that we are walking in maturity in Christ.  So the question for us is, what are we doing with the Words that God has spoken to us, how are we working His instruction through acts of faith?
