Faith Is a Must Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 We have heard this saying before. If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to see (or hear) it, does it make a sound? Thats one big problem Christians face every day. We havent actually seen the physical appearance of God. People who dont believe need to see before they believe. Believers dont need to see it. They rely on the Word of God. Faith treats things that are hoped for as reality. Faith is the solid, unshakable confidence in God which is built upon assurance that He is faithful to His promises. Hebrews 11:6 (NIV) says, And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. Who wouldnt want a reward from the Creator of the universe and Creator of all living things? The map to the reward is rather easy -- we just need to have faith in God. Faith is a reality and it reaches out to facts that are more solid, more real, more substantial, and more eternal than anything registered by our physical senses. John Phillips
