We live by faith

We live by Faith
The apostle Paul writes,
“We live by faith, not by sight.” 
                                2 Corinthians 5:7.
The Christian life is very much a life of faith. As Billy Graham the great American evangelist put it,
I can't prove it scientifically, that there's a God,
 but I believe.
                                Billy Graham.
The Writer of Hebrews states,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
 and certain of what we do not see.”  
                                            Hebrews 11:1
“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.
Acting in faith is not exclusively a Christian thing or for that matter a religious thing. Scientist act on faith all the time. Scientist look at the world around them and make hypophysis. They state because of what they see certain things must be true.
Einstein was one such scientist he made predictions that were not proven until long after he died. Predictions he believed by faith all his life. He believed them because he had evaluated what he seen and established for himself that what he believed is true.
Thus it is with Christians we look at the world around us, the heavens above. We see how perfectly constructed it is and see the hand of God. The Psalmist saying,
“The heavens declare the glory of God; 
the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 
Day after day they pour forth speech; 
night after night they display knowledge. 
There is no speech or language 
where their voice is not heard.” 
                                  Psalm 19:1-3.
Thus the question becomes do you believe in God.
  The Apostle Paul writes,
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—
and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God” 
                                                                    Ephesians 2:8.
Do you believe this?
Please think about it.
