Confident Faith

What is faith? And how do we know if we have it?Today, we continue our series “Back to the Basics,” and today, we’re talking about faith—a foundational building block as we study and grow closer to God.How do we know Jesus is real? And if He is, how do we know He died and rose from the dead? We weren’t there. Have you ever asked these questions? Maybe someone has asked you.Our everyday decisions depend on or rely upon what we believe to be true, acceptable, and trustworthy. The food we eat, the water we drink, the medications we ingest, and the people with whom we have relationships are all filtered through this lens. Belief. Trust. Faith.God calls us to faith in the same way. We can’t see Him, but we can still be confident in His existence and in His truth. God sends His Holy Spirit to guide us and help us in every aspect of our faith walk.Hebrews 11:6 (HCSB) says: “It is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him.”Our prayer for you this week is that you believe God exists and that you also believe God rewards you as you seek Him. As you do this, may you grow in faith and be pleasing to God. Amen.Scripture References: Hebrews 11; James 2:19; John 14:6-7#mysisterandmeministries #mysisterandme #holdfasttohope #hope This is a public episode.
