WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT: The Fruits of the Spirit, pt. 7
Tuesday Jan 28, 2025
Tuesday Jan 28, 2025
The last fruit of the Spirit we address in this series from Galatians 5:22,23 is that of faithfulness, although it ends up not being a discussion on faithfulness at all, since that word "faithfulness" is an inaccurate translation from the Greek into English. The Greek word, PISTIS, doesn't mean faithfulness, but rather FAITH. Therefore, this discussion addresses the mandate of 2 Corinthians 5:7, that "the righteous shall LIVE BY FAITH!" And living by faith is supposed to cover every area of life: Peace of mind, health, finances, as well as salvation itself. Learn more in this teaching what it means to walk by faith and not by sight.
