Good Friday morning on this first day of March. Hmm, March speaks of spring, or at least a bit of moderation in winter's cold. We often hear the verse quoted from Hebrews, "The just shall live by faith." With a little application we can turn that into a command: Just live by faith. I don't understand all that is going on in my life: Just live by faith. My body is full of these wicked ailments: Just live by faith. My heart will not let go of its ailing wickedness: Just live by faith!
We exercise our salvation, work out our sanctification, and seek God's glorification, but sometimes all that effort seems to be going nowhere. The struggle is good, and God will not let our efforts go to waste, but at the bottom line we must live by faith in Christ and His redeeming work. The glory of our salvation and the credit for our sanctification belongs to Jesus our Lord. We are blessed to play a part, but we give the glory to God for sending His Son to save us.
Grace and peace to you in Christ Jesus,Bucky
