Heb 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.
Below are simplified points of what faith is:
1) Faith is different from hope
Having head-faith is not enough, we must have heart-faith - only then can we experience a change in our lives.
2) Faith produces a substance (an internal indication)
This substance can be described as:
3) Faith produces an attitude
As a substance, faith develops in us an attitude - absolute confidence.
4) Faith produces a firm foundation
Because faith is substantial, we can walk, stand and build our lives on it. :)
5) Faith deals with desires
Coming back to Heb 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.
God wants to fulfill our desires and our goals as long as it is in line with His!
6) Faith produces an unshakable conviction
Seeing the evidence of what God has said or given you is so solid within your own spirit that it cause you to have an unshakable conviction.
7) Faith reaches out to the invisible
People say that seeing is believing.
Check these out:
There are no gray spots at the corners of the squares.
The circles seem to rotate when you move your head closer and further away from the screen while looking at the dot in the center.
Hold your head steady and fix your eyes on the dot in the center of the picture. The colored dots will seem to disappear after some time.
If I were to tell you that these pictures were optical illusions, you would believe me because you have seen them for yourselves. This then does not require us to have faith.
However, there are also some who say believing is seeing! This will definitely require faith because we believe and then see things come to past.
2 Cor 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
In conclusion, how is our faith different from new age beliefs?
True scriptural faith is God-centred and Word-centred.
That's a wrap!
See you guys!
