Living From VICTORY...The Walk Of Faith

1 John 5:4-5

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world.

And this is the VICTORY that has overcome the world—our faith.

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

FAITH

Conviction, confidence, trust, belief, reliance, trustworthiness, and persuasion. In the New Testament setting, FAITH is the divinely implanted principle of inward confidence, assurance, trust, and reliance in God and all that He says. The word sometimes denotes the object or content of belief.

"Abraham is called "the father of faith"; true faith was exemplified through his life. In the life of this "friend of God" , faith is not defined as perfect character or behavior, but simply believing what God says. Abraham's life also demonstrates how we may grow in believing God's word and encourages us to persist though we may grow slowly or not see or faith's immediate fulfillment.

Supporting Scripture

James 2:23

And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.

Hebrews 11:8-10

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
