In the book of Hebrews we read,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1.
This is perhaps the hardest thing to do. Having faith in a God we cannot see. Yet the writer of Hebrews tells us
“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.
Hebrews goes on to tell us,
“By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.” Hebrews 11:7-10.
The faith of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob gave them hope even though they never seen God’s provision in this life.
It’s the same for we Christians today. When we accept the salvation God offers through Christ Jesus. We may not see heaven while we live in this world. Yet we have confidence that when our time on this earth has ended we will enter the kingdom of heaven.
Do you have faith in God? Have you accepted the salvation that comes through believing in Christ Jesus?
Please think about it.
