Have you ever looked in the concordance or word-searched such words as 'pursue' and 'seek' at Biblegateway.com? The New Testament is full of active commands for us to 'run the race', 'seek first', 'pursue'...
1 Timothy 6: 11But as for you, O man of God,
flee these things.
Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.
12 Fight the good fight of the faith.
Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called...
Faith is active.
.......I'd love to expand this more but I have two two-year olds calling for my attention......
so.............just think about it.........Faith is Active....there is no 'easy street' or retiring in the Christian life.....and it is a wonderful journey....
