Walk by Faith and not by Sight

Walk by faith, and it will declare your trust in God. Making the transition from the flesh to becoming spiritual is a gift from God. We were separated from God in the flesh, but now we have redemption in Christ the Lord. Our foolish pride led us in the path of death, but the Spirit of God leads us to life in Christ. It is not what you have done for God, but what He does for you. When we were in the flesh, we erred in thinking that salvation was of our good works. In the bible (KJV), Ephesians 2:4-6, "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;), and hath raised us up together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." As we learn to trust God, and know Him for His goodness, and when we confess our sins, we can be saved by Faith. None of your good works (though there may be many) can please God. In our flesh is no good thing, but after being born of the Spirit of God in Christ, God looks beyond our faults and meets all of our needs. Then He does for us what we cannot do for ourselves (save us). We all need to know that God's grace keeps us safe (saved) forever. God’s grace is the unconditional love and mercy of The Father; it is not based on the conditions that we "hold out to the end" or that "we do our best and not fall." Just believe that God is able! In verses 8-10, "For by grace ye are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Our walk (work) must match our talk; faith without works is dead. You say that you have faith, but have no work to support your claim. Our work is given to us by God, as He sent Christ, then Christ sends us. We must be found faithful (working) to the end. By faith, we can finish the work that God gives us to do. Christ set the perfect example when He was on the cross, and He said, "It is finished." Now Christ did not say I am finished but He said, It is finished. The work that God gave Christ, He finished it by FAITH. And we must WALK by faith and not by SIGHT.
