Working By Faith

 

Faith links a man to Christ, so that he is no more a mere common man, with only his own poor feeble strength, but is more than a man — a man whom Christ is using, behind whom Christ’s omnipotent energy is working. We must yield ourselves altogether to God and let him use us. Then his power, his wisdom, his skill, his thoughts, his love shall flow through our souls, our brains, our hearts, and our fingers. That is working by faith. It is simply putting our life into God’s hand to be used, as one uses a pen to write or a brush to paint or a chisel to carve the statue.
