Always By Faith
“And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.”—Galatians 3:8
God has sovereignly chosen that faith should be the means by which people come to know Him. He chose long in advance that He would “justify the heathen” through faith. Therefore He gave the good news of “salvation by grace through faith” to Abraham in the form of a promise. He told Abraham that someday, all the families of the earth would be “blessed” through his lineage (e.g. – Jesus Christ). Abraham believed that promise and God credited to his account as righteousness.
We may not understand all of these great mysteries of faith, but one biblical truth is evident in our lives – God blesses faith. He has chosen to save us through the medium of our faith. He provides blessings in our lives through our faith. We see Him acting in, around, and through us as we look for Him with the eyes of faith.
Where is your faith today? Do you find your security in a fattened bank account, a great job, a good retirement package, or in Jesus? Save your money, work hard, prepare for the future, but trust in Jesus. God, increase our faith today.
