Live By Faith

                                                           Galatians 3:11
                                                   "The Just shall live by faith"

        If we are to walk in the Spirit, we must live by faith. Oh, how sad to see wonderful, sincere Christians who have been deceived by a wrong emphasis on emotions. I know of nothing that has caused so much defeat among Christians. We do not live by feelings. We live by faith. According to Hebrews 11:6,  "Without faith it is impossible to please Him." In Galatians 3:11, Paul reminds us, "We live by faith."
       Valid emotional feelings are simply the by product of faith and obedience. There is nothing wrong with feelings. Thank God we have them. Do not be ashamed of feelings, but do not seek them. Never emphasize them. To seek after an emotional experience repudiates the command to live by faith and is, in fact, an insult to God. Let emotions find their proper place in your relationship with Christ.
       John 14:21 indicates that the most valid way to have an emotional experience is to be obedient to Christ. Jesus said, "He who has My commandments, and keeps them, he it is who loves Me, and he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will disclose Myself to him.
