What is faith?

Have you ever wondered what faith is and how we practice having faith. The word of God gives us the truth on what faith is and the importance of faith.

Hebrews 11: 1 NIV

"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."

This simply means that we hope for what we cannot see with our eyes yet we believe and have assurance that it is.

Hebrews 11: 6 NIV

"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."

We cannot please God without believing that He exist. If we do not believe that He exist then we reject Him.

As Jesus says in,

Luke 10: 16 NIV

"Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me"

We must have faith in God and what His Word says concerning us. We must not reject His Word but by faith believe, taking heed to His Word and putting it into practice each day.

This week I encourage you to walk by faith in the promises that God has given to you.
