Walking in Faith

Text: 2 Corinthians 5:7, Hebrews 11:1, Romans 4:20-21

Bible Study:

Walking in faith is a fundamental aspect of the Christian life, and it is a theme that is emphasized throughout the Bible. In 2 Corinthians 5:7, Paul writes, “For we live by faith, not by sight.” This passage highlights the idea that as believers, we live by faith and not by what we can see or understand.

The Bible teaches us that faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. In Hebrews 11:1, the author writes, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” This passage emphasizes the idea that faith is a confident trust in God’s promises and character, even when we cannot see or understand what is happening.

In Romans 4:20-21, Paul writes about Abraham’s faith, “Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.” This passage highlights the idea that faith is a confident trust in God’s power and promises, and that it gives us the strength to overcome doubts and challenges.
