FAITH IS TOTAL TRUST IN WHAT WE HOPE FOR AND CANNOT SEE YET
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. – Hebrews 11:1
After the resurrection, the Lord appeared to His disciples, but Thomas was absent from their midst. After he had doubted that Jesus was resurrected, the Lord appeared to him and said, “… ‘Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed’” (John 20:29). From Hebrews 11:6 we learn that “… without faith it is impossible to please God!” and from 2 Corinthians 5:7 that “we walk by faith and not by sight.”
In other words, the key to a true relationship with God is the faith that is based on the revelation of the Holy Spirit and not on our physical senses that perceive physical reality. The spiritual world is more real than we may think. What we see with our physical eyes, we know exists and no longer need faith to be convinced of it, but we need faith and the activation of our spiritual senses to believe in what is in the spiritual world. One who does not believe in Jesus and in the truth of the Scripture and does not act accordingly to faith, cannot be saved.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You Jesus for dying in my place! I know that the wages of sin is death, but because You died in my place, I can live! Father God, please help me live to please You and be in right standing with You. Please forgive me for my sins and help me grow in faith. Thank You Lord with all my heart for all You have done for me, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
