Facts About Faith
Having faith is vital for us, but how do we define it? I think we will find the answer in Hebrews 11, the faith chapter. Every one mentioned here simply took God at His word and obeyed His commands. And for this, they were all remembered for their faith. Believing the word of God and acting on what we know is living by faith. Faith is not hoping something will happen, faith is knowing that it will happen.
So now the questions are, “How do we get this faith?” and “How do we increase in faith?” Our faith is not just intellectual knowledge and agreement. It is more than just acknowledging certain facts about Jesus, the Bible, the resurrection or anything else from scripture. It is taking our entire life and making a stand that is based on our confidence in these facts. Genuine faith is life changing.
The book I have written on this subject is my attempt to understand faith. I am still learning much from The Bible, and this topic is no exception.
If there is one thing that I have learned, it is this. You can spend an entire lifetime studying the Bible and you will still have a lot to learn.
I hope you get some inspiration from this book.
