DEAR READER'S
FAITH (4)
Like any other country, the Kingdom of Heaven functions by certain laws. Central to
these is the law of faith.
TheKingdom of God functions by faith, and without faith nothingfunctions in the kingdom.
We have already seen that faith is theculture and lifestyle of the kingdom; it is also the currency ofKingdom economy.
Successful Kingdom living is to live by faith notby sight, to trust totally in God rather than in our own wisdom.
Man was created to live by faith. Genesis 1:26 says that Godcreated man in His own image and likeness. Image means nature or character. Man was created to be like God in character and nature.
He was also created in God’s likeness. Likeness does not have to dowith appearance as much as with function.
To be created in God’slikeness means that man was created to function like God. And Godfunctions by faith because He is a God of faith. So we are supposedto function by faith as well.
Kingdom faith is not natural for us. Apart from the spirit ofGod working in our lives, we cannot attain Kingdom faith, and without Kingdom faith, we will never see the Kingdom of God.
Hebrews 11:6 says, “And without faith it is impossible to please God,because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and thatHe rewards those who earnestly seek Him.”
