Used Faith
Faith is not re-usable; once you have used it for a particular thing, you’ll need a fresh faith for the next venture. There is nothing any more frustrating than trying to use something a second time that was made to be disposed of after the initial use.
A good Bible illustration of used faith is found in the story of the two disciples walking on the Emmaus road. We’re told; as they walked they were sad. And what was the cause of this? Simply that they were attempting to live on their past faith. Everything was past tense with them, “…we trusted…it had been”; this is not the vocabulary of a vibrant faith.
Faith is always presented in the present tense. The writer of Hebrews says, “Now faith…” It’s not the faith you had, but the faith you have at this very moment that counts with God. It is a sad Christian who tries to live on an outdated faith. There is no value at all in an antique faith.
Faith is at home in the realm of the impossible as well as the realm of the possible. (J. Oswald Sanders)
