Scripture: Hebrews 11: 1, 6
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.(1) But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.(6)
Hebrews 11: 1,6
Commentary: Faith means trusting God for what he will do for you … without faith it is impossible to please him
Faith, belief; trust; confidence; and conviction are words, that are meaningless if what you say and do are not in God’s way of living. Believing in the existence of God is only the beginning.
Noah and Abraham’s life were filled with faith in God. At God’s command they obeyed what he told them to do without any questions. Do you listen when God tells you to do something?
God wants a personal, dynamic, responsive, relationship with you that will transform your life. Faith means resting in what Christ has done for you in the past. It also means trusting him for what he will do for you in both the present and future.
Acts 17:29 says, “Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.”
Remember God is the creator of all of us, not the creation. God is sovereign and in control, and having faith in him is trusting in him.
God has faith in you. Accept his salvation. Have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
