Walking by Faith
Dr RJ Sing · 1 min read
“He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.”
The Apostle John, who was an eyewitness of all that Jesus did, said, “The one who says he abides in Him ought Himself to walk in the same manner as He walked” Jesus set the pattern for the walk of Faith, and we are invited to follow. If we hesitate to accept this challenge, it may be because we do not understand the scope of God’s Grace. In 2 Corinthians 9:8, the Key word is Grace.
God is able to make all Grace abound to you. The basis of our provision is not our own wisdom or ability, but God’s Grace. In order to avail ourselves of His Grace, we need to understand two key principles that govern the operation of Grace. The first principle: Grace has only one channel that is Jesus Christ. For John 1:17 (NIV) declares, “For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”
The Second Principle: The only means by which we can appropriate Grace is by Faith. Let us look at Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.” As long as we limit ourselves merely to what we deserve or what we can earn, we are failing to exercise Faith and therefore we do not enjoy God’s Grace to the full.
