What does it mean to live by faith according to the sermon?

To live by faith, as highlighted in the sermon, involves a complete trust in God's promises and His sovereignty over our lives. It means relying not on our understanding or circumstances but on the truth that God is in control and is guiding us according to His plan. For David, even amidst turmoil in his household and personal failures, he declared, 'although my house be not so with God, yet God...' (2 Samuel 23:5). This demonstrates a faith that acknowledges reality but relies fully on God’s character and covenant promises. Such living fosters a deeper relationship with God, yielding peace and assurance that transcends external struggles.
