Faith is obedience to God.

Christian Community, faith in the Lord helps us to live the commandments with a willing heart and receive innumerable blessings. True faith motivates us to do God's will.

To live by faith is to be ready to agree, without having received complete and convincing evidence, and to move forward, acting and doing your job. "Faith without works is dead" [Jacob 2:26], and dead faith will not encourage a person to go on, improving life and disinterestedly fulfilling his ministry. True faith pushes the person towards creative and useful actions, as if he had absolute knowledge.

We can replace darkness with light by simply pressing a switch and reading in the middle of the darkest night. We do not need to be able to generate electricity or know how the wiring is installed. But there must be enough faith to screw the light bulbs and press the switch button. And then the light appears ... we can also turn on the receiver and enjoy a nice music from afar, without knowing how to assemble the receiver and without knowing the principle of your device, however, this blessing will never come until we plug in the plug electrical in the socket and tune in a certain way. Wave Similarly, one can receive several blessings and spiritual apparitions by performing the necessary actions. The faith manifested in prayer and facts is what we need for this.

We pray for the enlightenment of the mind, and then we begin to act with all our energy, using books, thoughts and our justice to get inspiration. We ask that they give us sanity, and then we do everything possible to act wisely and, eventually, become even wiser. We pray for success in our work, and then we study intensely the materials and test with all our energy, helping to fulfill our prayers. When we pray for health, we must comply with health laws and do everything possible to take care of our body and keep it in good shape. Pray for protection, we behave with care to avoid danger. Faith must always attend cases.

The people who experienced God were people of faith. Faith gives us access to the possibilities of God and allows the Divine power to flow through us in different situations of life. The Bible speaks of Abraham as the father of faith. What was the secret of Abraham's faith? The answer is very simple. The secret of Abraham's faith was hidden in his obedience to God. If you asked me to define the word "faith", the first thing I would say: "Faith is obedience to the Lord!" If we trust God and his wisdom, then we will obey Him.

"By faith, Abraham obeyed the call to go to the country he had to receive as a legacy, and he left, not knowing where he was going. By faith he lived in the promised land, as in a stranger, and lived in tents with Isaac and Jacob, co-heirs with the same promise; because I expected a city that has a base, that the artist and the builder is God.

By faith, Abraham, when he was tempted, offered up Isaac, and, having the promise, raised the only begotten, of whom it was said: "In Isaac shall it be called seed."

Because he thought that God was strong and that he had risen from the dead, so he received it as a foreshadowing "(Hebrews 11: 8-10, 17-19).

Let's see some moments in the life of Abraham:

  • When God told Abraham to leave his relationship and his land, he immediately did it.
  • When God told Abraham to cut all the masculine gender in his house, he immediately did it.
  • When God caused Abraham to tithe, he did not hesitate.
  • When God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, he immediately did it.

We must follow the secret of Abraham, we must trust in God and show that trust by obeying him. The Bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God. If you do not please God, then you can not experience his presence or power. When God reveals to you or shows you what he wants to do, you must respond to his call right there. This is a sign of your commitment and a sign that you want to continue to hear your voice. Disobedience hardens the heart and makes us unable to listen to God.

Faith is action according to the word of God. Very often, God calls us to do the impossible, that is, what is only possible for God. It is at such a moment that a crisis of our faith can come. However, we must understand that God wants us to reveal ourselves to the world through us. God does not call us to demonstrate what we are capable of, but to show what He is saved through us. That is why God often gives us instructions, whose execution will be impossible without him.

Sort:  

Jesus will always be our greatest example of obedience, hope was born for humanity when the son of God obeyed until death on the cross.
