So I have been getting up early every day to have quiet time with God. I need it. It sets the whole backdrop for my entire day. Here's what I learned today...
1) You can live a nice, clean moral life without faith.
2) James 1:6&7 Apart from faith we can receive nothing from God
3) The heart of all sin is disbelief. Did you realize that the only thing that Jesus ever rebuked his disciples for was a lack of faith. How many times in the Bible did we read where Jesus said "oh ye, of little faith"?
4) Faith is the act of believing God's Word plus praying in faith. See? Faith is the act; it is active not passive. When you pray in faith you are submitting yourself to God and that is what brings forth God's promises. Without faith His promises are urealized. When God gives a promise it always comes true when you ask by faith.
