I live by faith. My favorite book in the Bible is Hebrews chapter 11 and 12. Hebrews 11:1 "For Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things unseen." The rest tells of the faith of the men of old - Abraham, Isacc, Enoch, Noah, and on and on. If Noah can have faith enough to build an ark when in that day there had never been any rain, then I believe my faith should be atleast as great as his. He didn't have the Holy Spirit as we have today, and really when I look back, look at today and hope in the future, there is no other way to live.
We can't live the way we think a Christian should be because we are too weak in nature. We have to live according to the way the Bible teaches and take it by faith, sight unseen
Hebrews 11:6 And wthout faith it is impossible to pease Him, for he who comes to God must believe that HE IS, ad that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
It's a daily thing, Without my faith, I am nothing not yesterday, today or tomorrow.

For me, the most powerful sentence by Christ is "Love one another as you love yourself." That's what I try to live by, that is my concept of Christianity. I feel really sad when I see or hear ppl fight abt whether Catholics or Protestants or Lutherans or whoever are better than the other; or when ppl argue about whether Christianity or Judaism or Islam is better.
I think if we all learnt to treat each other with the same respect we feel we deserve, even though we may disagree at times, the world would be a much more peaceful place.

I have faith that God's laws are just and aren't grievous. Jesus says if you love him keep his commandments. If I believe his word sustains life, to disobey is to annihilate myself from existence. It's disobedience to life supporting laws that brought pain and death to this planet.
Love summarizes the laws of life. Can't hurt what you love.

live according to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
only faith is not sufficient.
it must me accompanied with deeds.
James 2:26
As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

I would say both. Your actions perfectly expose your faith, whatever it happens to be.
This can be embarrassing for you, or it can be flattering, it's up to you.

They live by double standards, judgments and hypocrisy.
