1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Hebrews 11:1-3
A Christian without faith is not a Christian! We all have lapses in our faith; sometimes our faith my wavier, but the Christian life is a life of faith. We come to God in faith, we read and understand His Word through faith, and we walk every day of our lives with faith that this world is not our home. Our true home waits for us in heaven above where we will live with God forever.
What is faith? According to Hebrews 11:1, the substance of our faith is based upon things we hope for, and the evidence of our faith can not be seen. What kind of faith is that? Just think about that for a moment; true faith is a gift of God. The world can not understand Christians! Christians base their whole value system on things they hope for with no concrete evidence sitting right before their eyes.
Yes, it may seem foolish, but to the Christian it is the power of God unto salvation. It has always been this way from the beginning of time. The elders who received a good report were those who exhibited faith. Thru faith saints of old stepped into miracles by having faith in God.
“Faith allows things to happen. It is the power that comes from a fearless heart. And when a fearless heart believes, miracles happen.”
I pray today that your faith would be strong as you face the obstacles and situation today. Be fearless and sit back and watch your miracle unfold.
God bless and have a wonderful day
