Faith A Spiritual Principle

Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith (Romans 3:27).

Faith is the spiritual principle by which we live in the Kingdom of God. It’s a law that nullifies or excludes boasting. In other words, when it comes to the things of God, you can’t pride yourself in your human qualifications.

You must not think you’d be successful in God or experience His best because you’re good, kind and have wonderful behavior. The Bible says such boasting is excluded by the law of faith.

When it comes to walking by faith, your self-righteousness doesn’t count. Remember, bad things do happen to good people who aren’t walking by faith.

People who receive the short end of the stick in life are often well behaved, very good and religious. Many of them experience hard times in their finances, marriage, academics, jobs and business. I would to God they would realize that faith is the victory.

That’s the principle by which you must live in order to experience the wonderful blessings God has ordained for you in life. For example, it’s God’s desire for you to prosper and walk in health. But you aren’t going to walk in them because you’re morally upright. It will take believing and acting on God’s Word for it to happen.

Child of God, you must exercise absolute confidence and trust in God’s Word; that’s faith. It’s believing and accepting that whatever God says is, is! It’s accepting that you are whatever He says you are, and have whatever Be says you have and acting on it correspondingly.

This is the New Testament way of life.
