There is a robust faith. A faith that brings God glory. That is infectious. That is exhilarating. That is fruitful. . This faith clings to Christ alone with our entire being. It dares not put its trust in anything else. Not its experience. Not zeal. Not knowledge. Not even in its fruit. Christ is the only sure and true grounds of salvation. . But, and here is the crucial difference, this faith not only believes in Christ. It believes Christ. It believes the living word of God. It believes the promises of God found in scripture. . Herein lies power. . This type of faith knows that God’s word is reality. God’s word is truth. God’s word is life. . The Christian with this faith is not timid and anemic but bold and powerful. . Not bold in himself. No he knows his own weakness and sinfulness. . He is bold in God’s word. Doesn’t trust his own abilities or even his own understandings. But trusts in the clear teaching of God’s word. When one area of scripture is unclear, he interprets in by the scriptures that are crystal clear. . This type of faith gives us confidence. Confidence in our security. Confidence in our salvation. Confidence in our hope. Confidence in our inheritance. And confidence in our calling. . A calling to represent Christ in this land of exile. A calling to display the fruit of the Spirit during the trials, frustrations, and persecutions in this land of exile.
