#184: Advent: Faith: Embodying your faith
How do we exercise our faith? What does it look like to have embodied faith? What does living out our faith look like in real life? Listen in.
In today’s Advent episode, we take a look at Mary’s faith journey.
How do we exercise our faith?
Faith starts in the mind with knowledge about God, facts about His character and understanding who He is and what He can do.
Then faith moves into consent: We intellectually agree with the facts we know and the reality we understand, and then consent takes root in the soil of our hearts.
Finally, faith takes the form of commitment, of application, of action, of obedience.
Faith is always fruitful, and faith will not be quiet. For Mary, her faith produced the fruit of a firstborn Son. Her faith could not be quiet as she screamed in the night at the delivery of her Son.
