The assertion “whatsoever is not of faith is sin” challenges believers to evaluate their motives and actions, ensuring that faith guides every aspect of life. Faith is more than belief; it’s a reliance on God that influences decisions, attitudes, and behaviors. This verse warns against actions driven by fear, doubt, or selfish ambition, as these do not stem from a heart grounded in trust. Living by faith means seeking God’s guidance and acting in ways that align with His will. Anything done outside of this reliance on God is considered sin, as it reflects a self-reliant mindset rather than dependence on Him. This verse calls believers to a life of integrity, where faith permeates every decision and interaction. Faith-driven actions honor God and keep us aligned with His purpose. By placing faith at the center of our lives, we avoid the pitfalls of self-centeredness and live in a way that reflects God’s righteousness, cultivating a spirit of humility and dependence on Him.
