Growing in a Relationship With God
Lesson 8 Having Faith
(Hebrews 11:1, NLT).
“Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see”
Faith may be invisible, but it connects us to God and gives us strength to move forward. Sometimes our faith becomes weak because of trials, doubts, or difficult experiences. Other times, like a growing flower, faith becomes stronger and more beautiful as we continue trusting God. The Bible says that faith is “the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1), and it is a gift from God.
This week, we will study about faith—how to deal with doubt and unbelief, what strong faith looks like according to Jesus, and what it means to have “the faith of Jesus.”
Summary:
God gives each person a measure of faith as a foundation for a relationship with Him. As the Author and Finisher of our faith, Jesus modeled the power of faith for us all. When our faith is small, when we come with weeping and supplication with a surrendered heart,
God will work miracles in our lives (see Jer. 31:2-4, 9, 11, 12). He will lead us in His straight ways so that we do not stumble any longer, and we will have peace. Jesus is the perfect example in all things, and having His faith will identify us as His people in the end times.
