Having Faith - 4


I am reflecting on what it means to “have faith in God”.  I want to look at it from a slightly different angle today. 

What might it mean to reword the phrase a bit?  For instance,
·      Live by faith in God?
·      Make decisions based on the character of God?
·      Take a stand because of God?
·      Prepare for the afterlife because of God?  Or using God’s teaching”
·      Philosophize about God?
·      Theologize about God?
·      Live obediently to God before God?

Just some other phrases using different verbs.  “Having” implies possession, ownership, the ability to trade, sell and buy .  What do you think?

Have you found a phrase you like, one that works for you?
