What does the Bible say about living in faith now?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that faith can only be experienced in the present, as highlighted in Hebrews 11:1, which states that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

The concept of present faith is central to Christian living and is emphasized in Hebrews 10:38, where it proclaims that the just shall live by faith. This means that faith must be realized in the here and now, as one cannot exercise faith in the past or future. The scriptures admonish believers to release anxieties and fears concerning past mistakes or future uncertainties, as doing so creates false refuges. Instead, faith encourages us to trust God in this very moment, experiencing His grace, love, and power now rather than in reflections on yesterdays or anxieties about tomorrows.
