As we see through the life of Abraham, faith-in-action requires obedience to God, waits on God, and withholds nothing from God.

Noah is commended in Scripture as a man of faith who took God at his word and lived by it. God used Noah’s faith to work his plan of redemption in the world. And in the face of cultural pushback, God can use your obedience, too, for his redemptive purposes.

God chose for Enoch to not experience death; he simply walked into the eternal presence of God. Before that even took place, Enoch was approved as one who pleased God.

We see faith in the life of Abel, from the Old Testament. Faith produces the kind of character in a person that will always give their best to God.

Faith is the demonstration of belief through action in God and his word for what is not yet seen. Faith takes God at his word and lives by it.

The new life in Christ is the key to seeing the Gospel effectively going out into the world. While there’s maybe not a lot of interpretation at the end of Colossians, there’s a lot of things to put into practice with this text.

We’re all pursuing something, and the apostle Paul offers wisdom into what to pursue with our life, how we are to pursue it, and why we should pursue it.

Living our best life in Christ results in true freedom, but we first must understand (1) that God’s acceptance of you is not contingent on what you do and (2) that this free life is living as Jesus would if Jesus were you.
