OBEDIENCE IS PROOF OF ONE'S FAITH

 Obedience is the proof, the substance of a life of faith. Because God is a spirit and operates in the spirit realm, He has set up His kingdom to operate by the principle of faith. It's for this reason that our eyes must be focused on the unseen things rather than the seen things. The one who focuses on the seen things is one who is moved by what he feels, thinks and sees. The one who focuses on the unseen things is one who is moved by the spi...rit of faith and is rooted in the promises of God.

“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord.” James1:6-7

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6

“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” 1 John 5:4
