Is living the life of faith where our only source is the invisible God and the Integrity of His word attainable in todays world?

I don't understand the question. 

(i) When you say 'source' to what exactly are you referring? 

(ii) How would you define 'living the life of faith'? 

(iii) how are you using the word 'integrity'? 

[Albert Finch]

You define the source -- after all that is all that matters in your own personal experience.

Faith - living the life of Hebrews 11:1

Imagine how integrity is used.

It was your question, I am interested in what you meant not what I think you mean. 

In regards to my personal experience being all that matters, are we not dealing objective truth and not merely experience when it comes to the christian life? It seesm to me that you are saying is there some higher plateau of Christian experience that can be attained in this life, is that right?

Faith - living the life of Hebrews 11:1

Hebrews 11:1 says Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. That defines what faith is, but it does not define what 'the life of faith is.' The implication from your question appears to me to be is that you mean something more then ordinary christian experience

Imagine how integrity is used.

Well it could being used in more then one way, integrity might refer to internal coherence or it might refer to honesty or it might refer to necessity - all would fit within the context of your question - know I assume you have in mind the the sense of honesty and trustworthiness because that makes the most sense -

Now, assuming I have got my definitions correct the answer to your question is 'no'. let me give my reason for that answer. There are no further plateaus of spirituality to experienced as a believer in this life one is either a believer or one is not. However, every Christian can only persevere in their faith through a reliance on God, and the means he provides, which include scripture, but also include the body of believers that we are not to forsake (Heb 10:25), participation at the Lord's table, prayer etc - the Christian that forsakes these things  will not be growing and maturing.  We are to work out our salvation in fear and trembling after all. 

 

[Albert Finch]

Each of us has a promised land for our lives. God's promises are key to us entering into the vision that God has given us. If you are in a desert God is ready to take you out -- time to move on from eating manna to eating the food that God freely gives in the promised land of your DESTINY!

If we want to be co-laborers with Jesus, fulfilling His PURPOSE FOR OUR LIFE, we must step out of the comfort zone and move into the life of faith where our only source is the invisible God and the integrity of His word. He said we cannot be His disciples if we don't do this.

"If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." - Luke 9:23

Do we? Or is there one promised land for the people of God? 

It's all very motivational and feel good, but is it biblical?

2.Timothy 1:9 - "Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from al eternity."

Ephesians 4:1 - "Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,"

it occurs to me that the only way you can be living your best life now, 
is if you are on your way to hell. 

i have something to look forward too, on the other hand. 

has that occurred to you?
