Living by Faith

September 30, 2022 by Christian Quote of the Day Leave a Comment

To live by faith is, by faith in Christ, to possess the whole Word of God as our own in all states and conditions, resting quietly upon His gracious and faithful promise and yielding ourselves unto His good pleasure in sincere, universal, and constant obedience. Or to live by faith is to feed upon the several promises of God made in His Word and to apply them to our own selves, according to our needs, and so to uphold, comfort, and encourage ourselves against all temptations and unto every good duty.

— Isaac Ambrose (1604-1664)

Faith has two hands, and with both she lays earnest and fast hold on King Jesus. Christ’s beauty and glory are very taking and drawing; faith can not see them, but it will lay hold on them.

— Thomas Brooks (1608–1680)

God loves a thankful Christian! Job thanked God when He took all away: “The Lord has taken away — blessed be the name of the Lord!” Job 1:21. Many will thank God when He gives; Job thanks Him when He takes away, because he knew that God would work good out of it.

— Thomas Watson (1620-1686)

Our heavenly King is pleased with all our graces: hot zeal and cool patience pleaseth Him; cheerful thankfulness and weeping repentance pleaseth Him; but none of them are welcome to Him without faith, as nothing can please Him without Christ.

— Thomas Adams (1583-1652)

In my walk, in my warfare, in my duties, in my friendships, in everything, I live by the faith of the Son of God; whereby a man may be as certain that he is alive in Christ as that he is alive to this world.

— William Romaine (1714-1795)
