Hebrews 11:1-3
Let Us Live By Faith
1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.
3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
Faith is what makes real the things we hope for...Faith is proof of what we cannot see...God was pleased with the people who lived a long time ago in the Biblical Times, because they had faith like this...Faith helps us understand that God created the whole world by his command...This means that the things we see were made by something that cannot be seen...Without faith no one can please God...Whoever comes to God must believe that He is real and that He rewards those who sincerely try to find Him...
Many people believe in God and have faith...Here are some faith quotes from different believers...Harold Percy said "Disciples are learners...As disciples of Jesus we are called to the lifelong adventure of learning to follow him closely and faithfully."...Rick Warren said, "In God’s eyes, the greatest heroes of faith are not those who achieve prosperity, success, and power in this life, but those who treat life as a temporary assignment and serve faithfully, expecting their promised reward in eternity."...Noman Vincent Peale said, "You can do amazing things if you have strong faith, deep desire, and just hang in there."...Mary C. Neal said, "By freely choosing to believe God’s promises, a person’s faith may be more strongly embraced and, therefore, less likely to falter in times of struggle, sadness, or other such difficulties."...Brian Steenhoek said, "Our faith and trust must be like the disciples’, leaving everything in God’s hands."...Catherine Pulsifer said, "May your faith help you in challenging times, and, may your faith remind you to be thankful for the good times."...Kathryn Statterly said, "Children enter this world with a tremendous capacity for faith...For children, believing in God is instinctive."...Beth Moore said, "Faith is the only thing that will ever close the gap between our theology and our reality."...
