Shield of Faith (continued)

We will conclude our thoughts on what is the shield of faith and what it does for us.

We are justified by faith and not by works.

Galatians 2:16 "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."

We are to live by 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."

We are made righteous by faith.

Romans 10:1-4 "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."

Christ dwells in our heart by faith.

Ephesians 3:17

"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love."

The Holy Spirit is received by faith.

Galatians 3:2 "This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?"

Romans 14: 23 "And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin."

Where is you faith today? Are you believing the word? I pray that you are living in faith. By faith we were saved and by faith we live in this world day by day puting our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

God bless you.
