Live By faith

We are to walk by faith. We are to carry out every single aspect of our lives by faith.

Faith must have an object. It has a direction. It is a vector. (A vector in physics is some property that has both magnitude and direction. Speed is a scalar. It has only magnitude. 55 MPH. Velocity is a vector. It has both magnitude and direction. 55 MPH north going toward Boston.) With a direction, something must point the way. Direction is given to men by the Word of God. So, we are to carry out every aspect of our lives according to the promises of God.

We go to work according to the promises of God. We raise our children according to the promises of God. We live with our spouses according to the promises of God. We complete the mission of God − establishing growing, reproducing churches among every people group in the world − according to the promises of God.

What does God promise about His mission:

• That His message will be proclaimed in all the world.
• That He will be with His people as the go into the world.
• That the evil one cannot stop His people.
• That, as a result, God will claim as His own some from every tribe, nation and tongue.
