Message
Faith is an important currency by which we may transact heavenly business. Through faith, spiritual things are made real to the soul. Abel, Enoch and Noah, received good testimonies from God and were declared righteous through faith. The righteous shall live by faith and without faith, it is impossible to please God. Faith makes the difference between those who are approved and those who are rejected by God. The things of God often cannot be explained by reason or logic. They are received and comprehended by faith.
What then is faith? Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Simply put, faith means seeing the invisible and accepting the incomprehensible. How do we show or prove that we have faith? It is through our works or actions. The Bible recognizes works of faith as evidence of true faith. If you truly believe, you must put your faith to work, take an uncertain step or a blind leap into the unknown, relying only on the promises of God. That is the faith that pleases God.
