Simple as Faith

 

Simple as Faith

Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality-faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experiences by the physical senses]

Hebrews 11:1 (Amplified Bible)

Many people wish that they had more, but God only wants us to operate first in the faith we have, then as we do it he will give us more.

Hebrews 11:1 tells us what faith is.  Apparently, if you are a born-again Christian this is how you started.  Faith was already there in your heart, and you acted on it.

What is faith? It is the certainty of what you hope for.  You were certain of what you hoped for and that was Jesus.  You acted as if you had always known him and went forward with it.

Well, faith is that simple, so simple a child understands the concept. 

With that assurance put your best foot forward and trust God.  He will carry you through.

Faith is the reality of what you don’t see.  There are many things in life you don’t see and go through them anyway.

Faith is not what you do, but it starts with who you are.  You don’t have to roll on the floor, you must believe in who God says he is and live life like you believe it wholeheartedly.

If a child is reading this and believing what I say…their whole behavior would change toward their parents and classmates.  It’s the same for others.

Faith is very meaningful to God, and it is between us a right of passage to him.  It is like our password to Heaven and our relationship with him.  Faith causes you to leave everything behind and walk with God like Enoch.  With faith, you obviously leave sin behind.

If we truly understood faith our lives would be very different.  Would they not be?
