If You Look to Christ

Charles Spurgeon wrote, "If you look to Christ at the beginning of your Christian life, but then begin to look to yourself for its continuance to the end, you will fail. Jesus is the Alpha (the beginning), and be sure you make him Omega (the ending) as well." 

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Faith is looking to Jesus Christ by trusting him to do in you, what you cannot do by yourself. Faith is looking unto Jesus dying for your sins and risen from the dead. You are believing the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Then, you are saved and begin to live the Christian life.

If you look to Christ, you are trusting him to continue working in you. Living your Christian life is knowing Christ works in you to please God (Hebrews 13:20-21). Indeed, Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega of every Christian's faith. He who began the good work in you will continue until the day of completion (Philippians 1:6; 2:13). 

If continue looking to Jesus Christ, one day your faith shall become sight. Understand that's the day when you see him face to face. You shall be glorified into his likeness (Romans 8:30). "We shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is" (1 John 3:2). Faith is looking unto Jesus until that day.
