The Bible says that "without faith, it is impossible to please God." We know that God is faithful - faithful to carry out His promises, faithful to renew His mercies every morning, and faithful to providentially care for the universe and all that is in it.
But are YOU faithful? Do you trust God and take Him at His Word? Do your actions everyday sync up with that trust? The Bible defines faith as "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Jesus said to doubting Thomas, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Many will refer to faith in Christ as blind faith, but that is not accurate. Blind faith implies that the one we are following does not know where he is going. Faith in Christ is founded on who He is, what He taught, how He acted, what He ultimatley did, and the profound, pervasive and prolonged impact He has had on the world!
No other person in the history of the world has had a greater impact. There isn't even a close second. The fact that Christ is the central figure in the story of mankind is no coincidence - it proves the sovereignty of God. There is no greater demonstration of faithfulness than when Jesus said, "Nevertheless, not my will be done, but Thy will be done."
When we come to the realization that Christ really is who He claimed to be, then there is NOTHING that will stand in our way or prevent us from following Him!
Do you have such faith?
