The Bible says that without "Faith" it is impossible to please God!!!
When we read the first part of Hebrews 11, we see a list of people who modeled "Faith". So how can we really understand what Faith is? A pastor friend found this explanation of Faith and I want to share it with you today, maybe this definition will help you understand how to accept "Faith".
According to my friend and fellow pastor, Sam, this is "Faith"--
It is acting like it's so,
even when ii is not so,
in order that it might be so,
because God say so.
That my friends is "Faith" Dare To Believe the promises of God and they will come to pass in you lives!!!
1 Faith is the assurance of things you have hoped for, the absolute conviction that there are realities you've never seen.
2 It was by faith that our forebears were approved.
3 Through faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God; everything we now see was fashioned from that which is invisible.
4 By faith Abel presented to God a sacrifice more acceptable than his brother Cain’s. By faith Abel learned he was righteous, as God Himself testified by approving his offering. And by faith he still speaks, although his voice was silenced by death.
5 By faith Enoch was carried up into heaven so that he did not see death; no one could find him because God had taken him. Before he was taken up, it was said of him that he had pleased God.
6 Without faith no one can please God because the one coming to God must believe He exists, and He rewards those who come seeking.
7 By faith Noah respected God’s warning regarding the flood—the likes of which no one had ever seen—and built an ark that saved his family. In this he condemned the world and inherited the righteousness that comes by faith.
8 By faith Abraham heard God’s call to travel to a place he would one day receive as an inheritance; and he obeyed, not knowing where God’s call would take him.
9 By faith he journeyed to the land of the promise as a foreigner; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, his fellow heirs to the promise
10 because Abraham looked ahead to a city with foundations, a city laid out and built by God.
11 By faith Abraham’s wife Sarah became fertile long after menopause because she believed God would be faithful to His promise.
12 So from this man, who was almost at death’s door, God brought forth descendants, as many as the stars in the sky and as impossible to count as the sands of the shore.
