Scripture: Hebrews 11: 1, 3, 6

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.(1)  By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.(3)   And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.(6)

Scripture Commentary: What words describe faith?

Faith is certainty. It is surety.  But of what are you sure?  And of what are you certain?  These two qualities have a secure start and end point.

The start point of faith is believing in God’s character.  He is who He says.

The end point is believing in God’s promises.  He will do what He says.

Do not put your faith in earthly things.

Our faith is in the God who created us and the entire universe.  We are here to serve God.  Put yourself in His hands and spread His gospel.

God will not settle for a mere acknowledgement of His existence.  He wants a personal, dynamic relationship with you.  When you tell others the gospel, tell them to be honest and diligent in their search for the truth.

God will give you the strength to do what He asks.

Remember others who obeyed the call: Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses.  And if you listen, you too!
