Faith(Abiding Faith)

It is through application of these precious truths that we begin to be conformed into the image of Christ (2 Peter 1:4).
This is just a small portion of what the Word says about a believer:
I am in Christ, and Christ is in me (John 14:20)
I am forgiven of sins through Christ (Acts 13:38)
I am no longer a slave to sin (Romans 6:6)
I am being renewed day by day (2 Corinthians 4:16)
I am a holy temple of God (1 Corinthians 3:17)
I am made righteous in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21)
I am complete in Christ (Colossians 2:10)
I am seated with Christ in the heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6)
Many believers do not experience these truths in their daily walk. They have been taught the positional truths of Christ without being taught that they can actually walk in these truths by faith. The positional promises are not just for when we walk through the gates of heaven one day, but are to be experienced in the overcoming life of the believer now. We have seen the necessity of knowing the truth of who we are in Christ and of reckoning ourselves dead to sin and alive to God. We must begin to act like who we really are by putting off the old man and putting on the new (Ephesians 4:22- 24).
Romans 6:6-14 tells us that we must then present ourselves to God rather than to sin. We all know how to yield to sin, but we must learn to yield to God instead. By an act of our will we must say "No" to sin and "Yes" to God. By doing this we are presenting ourselves "... a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God..." (Romans 12:1). Everyone who has a heart for God wants to know what it means to live in the realm of faith. There is more emphasis today on the teaching of faith than ever before. In some instances, there has been an overemphasis on faith that whole movements have been built on. People are hungry for real faith, but faith is more than "confessing and possessing." A faith-filled life is a relationship of complete and continual trust in God. It is a life whereby the believer puts no confidence in the flesh (Philippians 3:3), but all confidence in God. T
