Romans 14, V. 22-23, If it is not of faith it is sin

This chapter closes with a very profound statement that should shake us as Christians and followers of Jesus Christ. “For whatsoever is not of faith is sin: (v. 23) These words are so powerful because I think I can speak for all believers when I say sometimes I walk in this this life and my faith is not where it should be. There are times that I pray for things and I don’t believe they can come to pass, there I times I give effort and deep down I think it is a waste of time, and there are times when I minister and I feel like no one is listening. My faith waivers not in God or my Savior but in the things around me in this world. Paul tells us in verse 23 that everything we do needs to be done in faith or it sin. We must completely walk in faith that God is in control and He will absolutely do what He says that he will do 100% of the time.

Hebrews 11:6 says that it is impossible to please God without faith and this goes for everything that we do in this life. We must learn to live out 2 Corinthians 5:7 and walk completely by faith and not by our sight. No matter what we see in with our natural eyes in this world we must realize that in the spiritual realm things are working in our favor. It isn’t enough to just say it we must live it out daily. We don’t base our actions based up the what the media reports, Facebook post from our friends, or even how we feel that day. We base our actions on what The Lord says. We choose to believe in what hasn’t yet manifest because we know God can do what He has said He will do.
