WHAT IS FAITH?
Some say the power of positive thinking. Others believe it is an unflinching belief in the face of doubt.
Here are some great objects for faith:
I have faith in my doctor, that bridge, this science, your word…
THE BIBLE SAYS:
“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for the one who comes to God must believe that He exists, and that He proves to be One who rewards those who seek Him.” –Hebrews 11:6
“Now faith is the certainty of things hoped for, a proof of things not seen. For by it the people of old gained approval. By faith we understand that the world has been created by the word of God so that what is seen has not been made out of things that are visible.” Hebrews 11:1-3
“The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” (no object for faith) –Psalm 14:1
THE FOOL HAS SAID IN HIS HEART (along with his head)
There are 20 inches between head and heart. When a mans mind is working, this is good. But when his heart denies God a rightful place in that same heart?
“They are corrupt, they have committed detestable acts; There is no one who does good. The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind to see if there are any who understand, who seek God. They have all turned aside, together they are corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.” –Psalm 14:1-3
FAITH IS BUT A BLOWING WIND WITHOUT AN OBJECT,
NOTHING BUT HUMAN REASON AND JUSTIFIED DOUBT
APPLICATION:
Always Select an Object for Your Faith That is Worthy of Your Faith.
“But we know that God accepts only those who have faith in Jesus Christ. No one can please God by simply obeying the Law. So we put our faith in Christ Jesus, and God accepted us because of our faith.” –Galatians 2:16
JESUS CHRIST IS WORTHY OF OUR FAITH — HIS LOVE CONQUERS FEAR AND KEEPS THE SOULS OF HIS OWN
“Don’t be afraid of anyone! Everything that is hidden will be found out, and every secret will be known. Whatever I say to you in the dark, you must tell in the light. And you must announce from the housetops whatever I have whispered to you. Don’t be afraid of people. They can kill you, but they cannot harm your soul. Instead, you should fear God who can destroy both your body and your soul in hell. Aren’t two sparrows sold for only a penny? But your Father knows when any one of them falls to the ground. Even the hairs on your head are counted. So don’t be afraid! You are worth much more than many sparrows.” — Matthew 10:26-31 CEV
