The Nature and Working of Faith - Application
“To have faith in the Word, Scripture must not grasp us in our critical thought, but in the life of the soul” (Kuyper, The Work of the Holy Spirit p84).
On of the aspects of “living a life of faith” is trusting in the nature of God rather than focusing on your current circumstances. One of the ways we do this is through reminding ourselves of what God is like and what his promises are to his people.
Today, we’re going to create a list of such promises. After we’ve run out of ideas, I want you to pray over the list and get an inkling of what Scriptures God is speaking to your heart and what He wants you to trust him for.
