We're in our third day in our series on faith.

Today, we're going to look in greater depth at how we can actually live by faith, experiencing

every moment the incredible fruit that comes from trusting in the faithfulness of God.

God is with you, and his heart is filled with love for you.

May you find the strength and courage to trust in him today with all that you are.

Welcome to the First 15 podcast.

Thank you. Welcome to the First 15 podcast. Our scripture for today comes from 2 Corinthians 5 verse 7. Scripture says,

for we walk by faith,

not by sight.

Living by faith is the key

that unlocks the door to the fullness

of God's promises.

There is no doubt that God will always be faithful to his promises. Scripture is clear in 2 Timothy 2, verse 13, that if we are faithless,

he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself. Faithfulness is within God's nature,

but without faith, we will not experience the fullness of what is available to us in God's promises.

God does not force emotion on us. He does not force us to receive the joy and

peace that comes through trusting him. He does not force us into the fullness of relationship available to us in faith.

And he does not force his purposes on us. of relationship available to us in faith.

And he does not force his purposes on us.

Faith is the vehicle by which we experience all that God longs to give us.

Specifically, faith is the avenue on which we experience the fullness of God's promises for intimacy with Him.

Purpose in this life and freedom from sin.
