About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"WE NEED TO WALK IN FAITH" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
WE NEED TO WALK IN FAITH
GALATIANS 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I LOVE THIS VERSE. WE USUALLY SAY THAT WE LIVE BY THE FAITH "IN" JESUS BUT PAUL PUTS IT DIFFERENCE HERE WHEN HE SAYS HE LIVES BY THE FAITH "OF" JESUS. HE WAS USING THE FAITH OF JESUS FOR WHAT JESUS HAD ALREADY DONE. PAUL GOT THIS FAITH THE SAME PLACE WE GET IT. ROMANS 10:17 SAYS "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." WE ALL HAVE BEEN GIVEN "THE" MEASURE OF FAITH. MANY CHRISTIANS DON'T REALIZE WHAT THEY HAVE BECAUSE THEIR FAITH IS IN THEIR BORN AGAIN SPIRIT AND THEY DON'T TRUST IN THE REVELATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO SHOW THEM. I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS LACK OF FAITH BUT THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. THEY HAVE TO GET INTO GOD'S WORD TO LEARN.
I AM SURE YOU HAVE HEARD THE TERM "DYING TO SELF". THIS IS WHAT PAUL WAS SAYING BUT NOTICE THE DEATH WAS THROUGH WHAT JESUS HAD ALREADY DONE. YOU CAN'T BE SELF-CENTERED AND CHRIST-CENTERED AT THE SAME TIME. ALWAYS THINKING OF NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF MAKES YOU SELF-CENTERED BUT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD HATE YOURSELF, BUT THAT YOU SHOULD LOVE JESUS MORE THAN YOURSELF. PAUL WAS NOT JUST DEAD TO SELF BUT HE WAS ALIVE TO GOD.
WE WALK UNDER GRACE WHEN WE FOCUS OF WHAT JESUS HAS DONE FOR US. OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE IN OUR HUMAN STRENGTH AND TO WALK IN VICTORY WE MUST LET JESUS LIVE THROUGH US. HE IS WILLING AND ABLE TO DO THIS IF WE JUST LET HIM.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
THANKS WAYNE.
Very well written and said. David!
