Title: The Life of Faith/ Matthew 11:28
Contents What is the life of faith / Matthew 11:28
Key Verse: “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (verse 28).
Word: What is the life of faith when we say that we have been out of the church for 10 years and have lived a Christian life for 20 years? What does it mean? I believe that accurately identifying and passing through will help you in your life of faith.
First, the life we believe in Jesus is to put Jesus at the center of our lives. It is to welcome. But sometimes we believe in Jesus, yet we live our own way and use the Lord only when necessary. This is not accepting the Lord. To accept the Lord as my master and my king, to become his servant, to commit to living according to his will, and to serve as the king. That is receiving. You should be welcomed like this.
Second, the life of faith is fellowship with the Lord. Fellowship means giving and receiving. It is a life in which I read the Word of God, listen to it, pray before my Lord, pray, and be moved. This is fellowship. Reading the Word every day, listening to the Word, meditating on the Word, and continuing to pray earnestly before God every day. When I have fellowship with the Lord, I gradually resemble the image of the Lord. The word begins to come into me. It begins to take shape. Those who pray like this every day entrust everything to God. To entrust this way is to have fellowship.
Third, the word “living by faith” means obeying His will. It is not living according to my own will, but obedience to the will of the Lord. So, even if there are many things I want to do, I meditate on the Word according to His will, obey Him, and live day by day according to His will. Because I can't pray before the Lord and I can't obey, I have anxiety, anxiety, and worry. After praying and entrusting everything, if I only obey His will, joy and peace will dwell in us anytime.
God is always with us in this life of entrusting us day by day. It's vague today and I don't know how to live, but it's still good. Pray and let it go. Rely on the Word. And live obediently every day. In this desperate situation, God meets those who believe and live each day, depend on them day by day, and obey those who obey in faith day by day, and God is with them with greater grace and greater blessings. And finally, I believe that I will form the image of God, believe in God's power, and become a person used by God, so that my life will be abundant every day.
Prayer: God the Father guides you to lead a good life of faith and serves the Lord as my Lord and my King, and reads the Lord's Word every day, receives the Word, prays every day to have fellowship with the Lord, and obeys the Lord every day. Please guide me to live day by day, and lead me to live each day giving glory to You in your abundant grace. I pray in Jesus name. Amen
