Walking by faith means trusting in God's promises and the finished work of Christ instead of relying on our own understanding or works.
Walking by faith is a principle emphasized throughout Scripture, highlighting reliance on God rather than our own capabilities. In Romans 8:14, Paul notes, 'For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.' This underscores that Christians should live by faith, guided by the Holy Spirit, and not by sight. Faith entails believing in the unseen promises of God, which includes the assurance of salvation and the hope of eternal life. Additionally, it reflects the understanding that our acceptance before God is based on Jesus’ righteousness rather than our flawed attempts at obedience. This faith leads to a life that seeks to honor God, rooted in His grace.
