*The Just shall Live by Faith*
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
(Heb 10:38-39 KJV)
*Many people stop at the first portion of this scripture, but do not continue to read the following verse that states WE ARE NOT OF THEM WHO DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION: BUT OF THEM THAT BELIEVE TO THE SAVING OF THE SOUL. Hallelujah we are believers in Jesus Christ and have obtained salvation by accepting Him as Lord and acknowledging His death and resurrection for us.
*If you didn’t already know it, know now that YOU ARE JUST. By salvation you are Just therefore you are the one that should live by faith since you have been justified by Jesus Christ. . .Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. (Rom 3:28)
*Some Christians are often heard as saying things like…life is so hard for me at the moment I’m just living by faith. Such sayings give a wrong perception of what it means to live by faith. When something is living it is alive, vibrant and abounding. Jesus said. . .I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.(Joh 10:10b) This is the kind of living by faith God intends for you, abundant life.
*NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. (Heb 11:1) So faith is trusting God’s Word regardless of what is presently seen. Thus we conclude that you are just to trust in God, to be constantly expecting abundant life NOW. Faith is in the NOW tense. So you should know, that you know, that you know, what you know that ABUNDANT LIFE IS YOURS.
*CONFESSION*
My life is hid with God in Christ. I trust in the power of God and His Word. I expect nothing less than what the Word of God says is my portion. I live a life abounding with the Love, Grace, Mercy and Life of God by faith in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
(Rom 1:16-17 KJV)
