“What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see. God gave his approval to people in days of old because of their faith.” Hebrews 11:1
Our God in heaven is grounded in faith. Everything he expects of us demands faith. He lives in the spirit world, and we live in the natural world. Our lives are surrounded by things we see in the natural. We believe because we see what we touch and taste. However, when we begin to live with God in our lives, and the Spirit of God dwells with in us, then we begin our journey in the faith world. We must begin to turn from our teachings in this world about “seeing is believing” to, “it is the evidence of things we cannot yet see.” In the faith world we must begin to trust in what the bible tells us. As we believe we must begin to live our lives by stepping out into the unknown and acting in faith. We must begin to take steps without seeing or feeling. We must trust. We must be able to fall backwards and trust God to catch us. It is by faith that we accepted Jesus into our hearts. It is by faith that we believe the apostles and the true stories that have come down to us through the centuries. It is by faith that we stand up before the world and declare Jesus as our Lord and Savior. It takes faith to believe in God in the first place. As we read Hebrews chapter 11, we see all kinds of faith steps taken by those of the past showing their trust in God. As Christian believers it is our turn to crank up our faith and begin living it. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
