It may come as a surprise to discover that biblical faith is not related to either holiness or sanctification. No. Instead it is a willingness to follow the guiding of a person and your faith is your trust in the One who is doing the leading. Abraham who is the father of our faith was called to separate from his father, his family, his country, and to go to a place that God will show him. It is his utter trust in the Most High that his faith is attributed to. In the same way in our times our faith is in Christ and the Holy Spirit He sent to guide us. This may lead to a separation from those you know, but His goal is to bring you to a place of trust in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. It is this trust or faith in Him that reckons us as righteous. Not by our good deeds, but in the finished work of the One who was sent to save us.
Daily Prayer: Lord, thank you for sending us Your Spirit to guide us into all truth. Let us not feel bad for the good that we desire to do but cannot. Instead, let us be thankful that there is One who accomplished Your good will and it is He that we are now judged on and not ourself. Let us make it our business to tell others, so that they too may be heirs of your salvation. In Jesus name we pray Amen.
