Faith Matters

Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things unseen. I've heard that scripture paraphrased: Faith is saying something that isn't so, is so, so that it can be so.

Faith without works is dead. Faith is therefore an action word. It has hands and two feet and a mind but the mind of Christ. We are not to sit on the premises while waiting on the Promises. We must be doers and hearers of the Word. In doing so, we are to be certain our steps are ordered by the Lord and not by ourselves. That my friends, can be quit challenging when we remain in ourselves and not transformed into a new creation.

Our minds may not be able to comprehend, conceive and realize how simple it is and thusly, complicate what it means to live for Christ. If you note in all red-letter versions of the bible, Jesus spoke and used examples or stories known as parables so that we can truly understand the simplicity of seeking the Kingdom and finding it within, where He lives, after accepting Him as our Lord and Savior.

In conclusion, this is why Faith Matters. For if we lack faith, it is impossible to please the Lord. If you need help with any aspect of knowing Christ and learning about salvation, please find a local congregation or one at My Favorite Ministries.
