The Bible doesn’t say without love or without grace, it says without faith, it’s impossible to please God. That means the life we live on this earth must be the life of faith. Do you know why you must live the life of faith? It’s because your God is a faith God. Jesus said, “Have faith in God,” that is, “Live the life of faith and have a relationship with God.” Every time they wondered, “Why is He always talking about faith?” Jesus told His disciples to go out and lay their hands on the sick and do the same things they saw Him do. Jesus was teaching them to live the life of faith. He’s the best leader, the best friend and teacher one could ever wish for.
Someone came to Him and asked Him. “Teacher,” not out of respect but just to tempt Him and get Him to say the wrong things, “you see, I have done everything I need to do, I’ve obeyed all the laws, but what else can I do to inherit the Kingdom of God?” There was still a question, because in spite of all he had done, he still wasn’t sure of inheriting the Kingdom of God. Then Jesus answered and said, “Okay, go sell all you have and come be one of My disciples.” The man walked away sad because he was very rich.
People think they have faith when they really don’t. They think they’re acting in faith when they’re really not. Faith is a taker, it’s a winner; it neither gives in nor gets defeated. Faith is a revealer of the Master. Faith is the life of the believer. It’s who you should be and what you should speak continually. Faith is the person that you should express; faith is you, Hallelujah! Faith is the law of the Church. It is the law for living for the believer in Christ Jesus.
