Faith



Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see, this is what the ancients were commanded for, by faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that  what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice that Cain did, by faith he was commended as a righteous man when God spoke well of his offerings and by faith he still speaks even though he is death. By faith Enoch was taken from this life so that he did not experience death, he could not be found because God had taken him away for before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.

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. 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 was God.

Never lose faith, it is impossible to please God Almighty without it, Jesus believed in God and preached about faith, believe in God with out doubting anything and He is faithful all the time, God is able to do just what He said he will do, He is going to fulfil any promise to you, don’t give up on God because he wont give up on you. God is faithful so have faith in God. To God be The Glory.
