People of Faith
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. This is what the ancients were commended for.” Hebrews 11:1,2.
Faith in 2023 seems to be in short supply. Few people seem to have faith in anything.
We are bombarded by hundreds of things in the media one piece of information seemingly contradicting another piece of information.
I think its perhaps been this way throughout the centuries. It’s just that today we have a multimedia world that highlights contradictions quicker than ever before.
It takes a lot of faith to believe anything these days.
That I think also applies to belief in God. It takes a lot of faith to believe in someone or something we cannot see, feel or touch.
I think that is why God asks of faith. I think that is why in the book of Hebrews we read,
"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.
People who have faith in anything are the strongest of follower. People who believe in something with their whole heart and soul are willing to die for what they believe in.
Jesus speaking about himself said,
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16.
Do you believe this?
