By faith, Abel offered a right sacrifice. By faith, Noah built the ark and saved his family. By faith, Abram obeyed God and left his country to pursue God’s promise (Heb. 11). And it continues—faith obeys God.
Faith Must Fight to Ignite
I’m not talking about physical warfare but spiritual warfare. The same gospel that brings peace with God brings a battle with sin. We must be prayed up in order to be built up, live in the Word so we don’t live in fear and worship to chase out worry.
