Without faith it is impossible to please Him . . . —Hebrews 11:6
The world is divided into those who operate by “common sense” and those who operate on “faith.”
Faith can be mistaken enthusiasm and narrow-mindedness, and common sense is often a mistaken reliance on reason as the basis for truth. The life of true Faith brings the two of these into the proper relationship. Common sense operates in the natural. When one moves from common sense in the natural he is being impulsive. In the spiritual, where faith operates, actions are not based on “common sense” and what is “inspiration” may appear as impulsiveness. The teachings of Jesus Christ turn common sense on it’s head, but it is revelation truth. Faith, which can appear silly and unreal to the natural man, when applied and put to the test becomes real in your life.
The life of faith says, “Lord, You have said it, it appears to be irrational, but I’m going to step out boldly, trusting in Your Word” (for example, see Matthew 6:33). Faith is the entire person in the right relationship with God through the power of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
Step out in Faith and discover the wonderful world of Life in Christ.
