The life of faith is a spiritual journey beginning at the moment of new birth (regeneration) through personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, and continuing onward and upward from spiritual infancy—through the stages of spiritual growth— into maturity and beyond. I refer to it as the journey “from the cross to the crown.”
The little book of Titus, one of Paul’s “pastoral epistles,” provides a short-course on the life of faith. As we explore the great and timeless truth contained in this epistle, we will refer again and again to the “life of faith” and the journey “from the cross to the crown,” and to the many promises and provisions supplied by God in His matchless grace for those who choose to live in the light of the cross.
This was the subject of the Spring 2011 Conference in Canberra, Australia.

From Series: "Safeguarding Yor Soul - 2020 PA Ladies Retreat"
We know that the only perfectly steadfast and sinless soul that ever lived was the Lord Jesus Christ. From His very birth, He set His mind on the mission God sent Him to this Earth to accomplish. He set His face like flint to the task; He lived and died to reconcile man to God. To safeguard our soul would be to arm ourselves with the “mind of Christ,” to think as He thought, and to walk as He walked.
