Understanding Faith, and How to Use Yours to Get Ahead in Life
Paul wrote two thirds of the new testament bible. He could honestly say, I have fought the good fight of faith, and having kept the faith he could die honorably before God and mankind. After his transformation (he got saved) from Saul, to Paul, he got on board helping christians instead of killing them. God can use the same thing that was fighting against Himself and turning it or the person into one of His most valuable servants. This fight of faith is considered a good fight because we always win. Our faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God (Hebrews 10:17). There are different levels of faith. We determine what level we want to be at. The fight becomes more easily handled with strong faith opposed to little faith or weak faith. We want ever-increasing faith, which means we are always pouring into our ears that which makes for greater faith. Keeping the faith as Paul did requires mediation in God’s word day and night (Joshua 1:8). In doing so, we make our own way prosperous. Without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). But we become more than conquerors because of our faith. Allow your faith to have the experience of learning from the ups and downs of life.
