Hebrews 10:39 Driven By Faith

Hebrews 10:39 Driven by Faith

39 But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.”

Hebrews 10:39


To believe is one thing.

To be guided by faith, to take in the words of God and let them grow within our hearts, and then live them out in our daily lives, now that’s drive, that’s desire.

I find that believing in God is pretty easy when compared to the actual Christian walk, which has proven to be quite a challenging road…

Believing is really the first step of many, many more steps along the narrow path that leads to God.

To be driven by faith, one must be compelled to complete the work God gives us to do as we follow His lead and continue to humbly go where our heavenly Father needs us to go.

When we allow our faith to lead our footsteps, we are able to ignore the enemy’s attacks and we are empowered to resist temptation.

Faith Without Works Is Dead

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”

James 2:26

Faith itself is like a seed, which needs nurturing in order to grow. And just like any seed, if left alone and not watered, faith will eventually dry out and die.

God provides water for our seed in His Word. He shines light on our seed through prayer & worship, and feeds our seed through fellowship with likeminded servants.

As our seed grows into a plant, God will provide opportunities for us to blossom as servants in the way of works, sacrificial tasks to help increase our faith.

Remember, being a Christian doesn’t translate into a perfect, pain-free life.

Quite the contrary.

In His Word, God warns us that suffering will come, it’s inevitable.

But in those moments of suffering, believers are blessed that we can still glorify God and Christ, and find refuge in our faith.

To be driven by faith, we must allow Jesus to take the wheel and trust in His ways.

Just give Him the wheel…
