FAITH

How does faith in God affect how I live?

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1

I tell you the truth; whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. John 5:24

Reflections from the question…

Faith is more than just believing; it is trusting your very life to what you believe. You can believe that someone can walk across a deep gorge on a tightrope. However are you willing to trust that person to carry you across?

 Faith would say yes!! Faith in God means that you are willing to trust Him to carry you across the tightrope of life. You are willing to follow His guidelines for living outline in the Bible because you have the conviction that this will be best for you. You are even willing to endure ridicule and persecution for your faith because you are so sure that God is who He says He is and will keep His promises of salvation and eternal life in heaven.

 

The Divine Promise

In fact, it says,

“The message is very close at hand;
it is on your lips and in your heart.”

And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. Romans 10: 8-10
