Living Requires:
1.
Living, Integrity, Money, Pace
your faith
“A new command I give you: Love one
another. As I have loved you, so you
must love one another. By this all men
will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34, 35
Yes, the
way to identify a tree or a person is by the kind of fruit that is produced. Matthew 7:20
(NLT)
Examine
yourselves to see if your faith is genuine.
Test yourselves. Surely you know
that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine
faith. 2 Corinthians 13:5 (NLT)
I know, my
God, that You examine our hearts and rejoice when You
find integrity there. 1
Chronicles 29:17 (NLT)
Even when:
* ________________ is required
* ________________ is involved
* ________________ is rushed
2.
Refreshing your faith
Jesus
often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. Luke
5:16
Lord,
when doubts fill my mind, when my heart is in turmoil, quiet
me and give me renewed hope and cheer. Psalm
94:19 (LB)
Therefore
we do not lose heart. Though outwardly
we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 2 Corinthians 4:16
3. Sharing your
faith
Make your light shine, so that others
will see the good that you do and will praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 (CEV)
The
only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Galatians 5:6
And now
the word of the Lord is ringing out from you to people everywhere...for
wherever we go we find people telling us about your faith in God. We don’t need to tell them about it. 1 Thessalonians 1:8 (NLT)
...The
news of your faith in God is out. We
don’t even have to say anything anymore—you’re the message! 1 Thessalonians 1:8 (Message)
~ don’t leave it—Live it~
