we were hearing this morning about the importance of having a living faith a sincere faith now Paul tells Timothy that the goal of all our instruction is

through repentance and faith. In Acts of the Apostles in chapter 20, Paul says that what he taught everywhere

reasons that is called The Obedience of Faith you must see there's a difference in Old Testament obedience and New Testament OB the the Old Testament was obedience

things like forgiveness and but if you thirst you can live a spirit-filled life first means you value it more than anything else on earth and you also the other condition is of course faith you believe

about sincere faith since your faith is something different from [Music] that faith is the substance of things

you're part of a bigger movement and you have to go back to those day of Small Beginnings and um think back to all the faithfulness the Lord has shown us especially as we finish up calendar 2023 and we enter another year it's God's

them and secondly it is The Obedience of faith that means I don't have to use my reason our reason is sometimes the enemy

welcome once again to words of life we have been trying to understand God's word and his laws and we saw in our last study how one of the marks of genuine faith is a

victory that has overcome the world our faith it's that simple how do we overcome by faith and the Amplified

praise the Lord for another opportunity to share God's word with you my subject for today is we walk by faith and not by sight which is is a verse from 2 Corinthians 5:7 this what Paul says

we have to think of what is the main thing that we must pursue in the christian life we begin our life by repentance and faith that's the beginning that's the

Your life will be filled with praise. It says here, they believed his words, they sang his praise. So, when what is the result of faith? Praise. If you're not yet able to praise God,

fear and faith are absolute opposites like black and white like light and darkness don't imagine that you have faith if you got fear in your heart it doesn't exist fear comes in faith goes

in acts 20 verse 21 he said Jews and Greeks which means the whole world I solemnly seriously testified to all people in the world repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ that's it like the two wires that make

after James I think and if this is the first book of the New Testament as we think it possibly could be it's interesting that it speaks about faith that produces works that's the subject of this book faith that produces works
