Follow in Faith

What does following in faith look like for the follower of Jesus? Are you following in faith?

Following in faith is not always simple or clear. To follow in faith requires stepping out into the journey without always being sure of the details, or the final destination or outcome.

Following in faith may look different for different people. However, following Jesus in faith produces life in those who follow him.

In the Apostle John’s gospel, Jesus said this about faith, “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” (John 7:38).

Jesus promises that our belief in him—our following in faith—produces rivers of life.

In his letter to the Corinthians, the Apostle Paul wrote, “for we walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7, ESV).

While we do not always see the way, as we step out and go the way, God gives us life along the way. We follow in faith, as God reveals himself and his faithfulness.

May we follow in faith as “without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6).

A Collect For Faith: “Lord Jesus Christ, by your death you took away the sting of death: Grant to us your servants so to follow in faith where you have led the way, that we may at length fall asleep peacefully in you and wake up in your likeness; for your tender mercies’ sake. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
