"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
This is what the ancients were commended for."
Hebrews 11:1,2Faith in God perhaps the hardest thing for anyone to have. It’s hard for most people to follow someone or something they can’t feel, see or touch.
Yet that is exactly what God asks us to do. Ephesians stating,
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—
and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
not by works, so that no one can boast."
Ephesians 2:8,9God presents for us in the Bible the way to salvation. He shows us through the works of the patriarchs and the apostles how to get to heaven and it all comes down to one word, faith.
Hebrews stating,
And without faith it is impossible to please God,
because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists
and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Hebrews 11:6 The question always come down to faith but not necessarily blind faith. The Bible gives us enough facts that we can make an informed decision. All we have to do is examine them.
Have you? Have you actually taken time to read the Bible?
I’m told it takes between eight-eight and a hundred hours for the average person just to read the bible. But just reading it is not enough. One needs to study it and make ones own conclusions.
I truly believe that if a person studies the bible with out putting any preconditions on what is being read that person cannot help but come to the conclusion that there is a God and that He truly loves them and wants them to spend eternity with Him.
So here’s my challenge. Take time to read the Bible. Read and study it for what it is, a book of faith that points the way to heaven and make your own decision.
