Ethics

Although faith seems like a very nebulous tenant as THE norm under the AUN it is the only possible candidate. Nothing else fits. I can not keep the law, my love is far from perfect, and I can not adopt God. The only response that anyone can have to the AUN, Be Holy, is “Lord I believe!” I believe that Jesus died on the cross as me because I was both alienated from God at birth and I had personally chosen to refuse to submit to God both of which are capital crimes but If I had died for myself I would be dead. Even God could not have brought me back. Jesus though he died could not be held by death, He had never sinned, so He rose back to life again and carried me with Him. “I am crucified in Christ never-the-less I live, yet not I but Christ lives in me and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Gal 2:20 How does God want us to live? We worry that we have to figure out where to put each foot as we walk forward in the Christian life and justify each and every thought and action as being legally, morally, and ethically correct. How could we know how to live if we are hedged in to only faith? Isn’t the injunction ‘live by faith’ like saying put both hands out in front of you and put your foot forward very very carefully and hope like ___ that what God promised is out there? It would be if we were putting our faith in any thing or any one but God. If we really trust God, No it is not!
