Eyesalve: Life of Faith

By | Eyesalve

Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.” Habakkuk 2:4

 

The word “faith,” is found only two times in the Old Testament. However, the principle of faith is lived out by many of the Old Testament saints. Abraham, for example is called the father of faith. What a contrast we have from the New Testament saints of today who hear all the time about faith. We even have one faction of Christianity called, “word of faith.” In the Old Testament days, the people didn’t hear about faith as much, but they lived it. We have the privilege of reading about the obedience of those Old Testament saints who lived a life of faith. Let it be so for our present day, let faith be seen more than or as at least as much as it is preached. So let’s take “word of faith,” and change it to a life of faith.

Eyesalve: Shadow or Light?

“Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.” Col. 2:16-17

 

The Old Testament is a shadow of things to come. The New Testament is the revealing of that shadow who is Christ. When men go on to practice the ceremonial laws and regulations they are choosing to live in the shadow of Christ. Now why would anyone want to live in His shadow when they can live being part of His body? Don’t walk in the shadow, walk in the light.

Eyesalve: You Are The Sacrifice

By | Eyesalve

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.” Ps. 51:17

 

Though we live under the new covenant, God still desires and receives sacrifices. The difference between the Old and New Testaments is that the sacrifice just changed. In the Old Testament, animals and grain were offered up, in the New Testament, you are the sacrifice.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” II Tim. 3:16

Reading and receiving the whole bible, both Old and New Testaments, will correct much false teaching.It is not just the holy bible, it is wholly the bible.
