Faith Is a Lifestyle
Faith is not a magic wand, a quick-fix, or instant formula, but FAITH IS A LIFESTYLE.
“The just shall LIVE by faith” – Romans 1:17
Hebrews 11:6 – “But without faith it is impossible to please God …” – Faith is a lifestyle that PLEASES God.
FAITH, FOOLISHNESS OR PRESUMPTION
Many people do things in the guise of faith, when in fact it is no more than foolishness or presumption.
FAITH: “Acts on what you believe, if what you believe is the Word of God”
FOOLISHNESS: “Deficient in understanding, without judgment or discretion, silly, unwise, stupid, idiotic, senseless, ill-advised, witless, irrational.”
PRESUMPTION: “To take or suppose to be true, or believe without examination or proof, to take for granted, to infer, to suppose, to assume.”
The key to avoiding foolishness and presumption: Apply the Acts 17:11 principle.
Hearing and acting on the Word of God will build your life on a solid, sure and unshakeable foundation:
