Bible Question: What is meant by walk by faith? |
Bible Answer: Welcome to the Forum mgjudge! We are made in the image of God. Therefore, as personal beings we think, act and feel, just as our Creator does. No other creature did God create this way, except Man. But although we are the image of God, we are not God. We can know the truth, but we don't or can't know everything. Only God knows everything. With our limited knowledge and ability we cannot gather enough information to understand life or know how to live it. God knows everything, and he has graciously revealed in his Word, the Bible, what we need to know about life and how to live it. The man who rejects the Word of God, the Bible, may try to live by what he can figure out about life on his own. This is living by sight. The one who believes God's Word, the Bible, lives by what he could have never figured out by himself. He lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God (Matt. 4:4). This is living by faith and not by sight. Peace in the Lamb, |
