Love and Fatih

Love and faith is spoken to believers as coming from You and Your Son.

You say Father in Eph 6:23, “Peace to the brethren and love with faith through God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

1 Tim 1:13-14 Even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. And yet I was shown mercy, because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;
: 14 and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus.

In Gal 5:6 Your word says that “in Christ Jesus neither circumcision or uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. “ To me that circumcision is works or something that is exterior, or something of us or others.

I had to stop and think about this. Love with faith. It seems that they cannot be separated.

When You grace us with Your real divine love, faith is ushered in.
For love displays itself in obedience to Your promptings.
And Your promptings are not always about us; they are for Your purposes (which may or may not include us), and we don’t always understand them. Yet we are compelled to obey because Your love has taught us to have confidence in You.

But obeying, doing as You direct, is exercising faith regardless of understanding or how we look to the world. We are trusting in You and in Your leadership, in Your love for us. Our confidence is in You.

Even Paul who was an aggressor and a violent person, who once acted ignorantly in unbelief, yielded his life to Jesus when he discovered faith and love in Christ Jesus. Christ revolutionized his life because through the love of Christ he was able to walk by faith.

Christ is our Redeemer. Enable Your Body to “be strengthened with power (Eph 3:16) through His Spirit so that Christ may dwell in our hearts and we can be rooted and grounded in Your love. To discover the height and depth and width of Your love for us in Christ, Our Living Lord.

Yes, by faith in Jesus and His love for me I am to walk daily.
