How to Live by Faith

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Receive the gift of faith in God for salvation -- by grace

   "See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are.
   
   For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him." (1 John 3:1)
2. 2

   Step 2: through faith

   Church is a big part of community including charity in relationship to Christ:
   So decide what kind and size of church and what style of worship that you want to attend depending on your own style, and then find a small, medium or large church near you of that size, and see if that is how you prefer it."And let us consider one another to provoke (motivate) to love and to good works:..." (Hebrews 10:24),"For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?" (Romans 8:24), Let us never give up meeting together, relating, not as some in the habit of staying at home."...Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching ." (Hebrews 10:25), According to your faith, be it unto you! Increase faith by the word of God.
   
   Remembering, that:
   Problems to solve are also opportunities (for success/making progress on the Way)."Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6), As Jesus said people will ask Him:" 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?'...
   
   He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me ' . ... (Matthew 25:45)He sees our deeds, "good or bad"; and whether "done or not done" as directly for Him or to Him. ,"...we look not for the things which can be seen, but at the things which can not be seen; for the things which may be seen are temporal , but the kind of things which can not be seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18)
