From Faith to Faith

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation (Rom. 1:16). Only the Gospel message has the power to save the souls of men and women. It will transform you. It will make you a new creation. It will give you everything that you need to serve God. Knowing the Gospel is about knowing Jesus—knowing the good news about who He is, what He has done for you, what He is doing for you and what He will do for you.

By focusing on the Gospel and learning to love Jesus Christ, we become new people. The Word of God transforms us. God makes us new creatures, and we are pleasing to Him on the basis of Jesus Christ.

Concerning the Christian life, the Bible says that that we live “from faith to faith” (Rom. 1:17). Paul goes on to say that the righteous shall live by faith. Living by faith is living for Jesus. Thinking about Christ, looking to Christ and seeking to please Him in all that we do.

The Christian life begins with faith and ends with faith—therefore it is about faith all the way through. We walk hand-in-hand with a loving, compassionate Savior who is interested in everything that we do. He is our God, our Shepherd, our friend. With Him, life is always worth living.

Make Jesus your life. Live entirely for Him, seeing Him as the total reason for your existence (Philippians 1:21). By doing that, you are living life the way that it was meant to be lived and you are fulfilling your purpose. Trust in Jesus every day. Look to Jesus every day. He will never let you down. All the way through, the Christian life is about focusing on and thinking  about Jesus and doing what He wants you to do.
