We have talked about what "faith" is (Hebrews 11:1), and we have talked about how "faith" comes (Romans 10:17), and we have talked about what "faith" does (Mark 11:23 and 2Corinthians 4:18). Today, I want to talk about how "faith" works! What causes "faith" to work in our lives? We can find that answer in Galatians 5:6...Faith works by "love"! Not the "worldly" kind of love, that says "I will love you as long as you do what I want you to do"! No, the kind of "love" that Galatians 5:6 is talking about is God's kind of Love....which says "I will love you unconditionally, and it does not matter what you say or do"! Remember, that does not mean that you have to condone or approve of someone's behavior...you just have to "love" them the way that God loves you! He does not always approve of "our" behavior, but He loves us anyway! Oh! if we could just learn to "love" people with God's kind of love, then we would never have to "wonder" whether or not our "faith" is working!
