Fear or Faith?

 

As I see clients go through transactions, I can tell which have faith in God and which do not.  Those who truly have faith in God walk in faith during their home buying and selling experiences  They ask God for answers and God leads them.  Those who do not walk in faith, walk in fear. "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31). Ultimately, there are only two motivating factors in life: fear or faith. Until we truly know that God is for us, loves us, cares about us personally and hasn't forgotten us, we will base our life's decisions on fear.

 

According to Bible.com, many relationships are based on the fear of being alone. For example, vanity is based on a fear of being unattractive and unloved. Fear breeds selfishness, which is the exact opposite of God's character. Selfishness breeds pride and indifference to others. All of these are sin and must be dealt with accordingly. Stress arises when we try to serve both ourselves (our fears), and God at the same time (which is impossible to do). If you are thinking of making a decision on a home, I ask that you first consult with God so that you may walk in faith during this wonderful exciting experience rather than walk in fear.
