Faith is the operating, guiding light of a believer in
Jesus Christ.
"Whatsoever is not of faith is sin." (Romans
14:23)
We walk by faith, not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7)
Jesus
even comforts us not be of doubtful mind (Luke 12:29)
So, how do we
effect living by faith?
We believe, we affirm his blessed promises in us,
which are in His word!
Every believer is called to live by the faith
of the Son of God (cf Galatians
2:20)
When faced with any new situation, the Holy Spirit leads, and His
peace operates as judge, an umpire helping us determine the proper course of
action:
"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also
ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful." (Colossians 3:15)
Here,
Paul uses for "rule" the word βραβεύω, brabeúō, which means to rule, arbitrate,
or "act as an umpire".
This peace of God enables a believer to know with
utmost simplicity if he or she is living in the will of God.
Anything
that jars this peace, anything that causes doubts to arise in the heart of a
believer, is to be discharged or dismissed immediately.
Indeed, may the
peace of God rule in the heart of every believer.
