HEBREWS 11:1
"Faith is confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we can not see."
Do you only believe the things that are subject to your five senses? Faith is believing and perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to your senses. Do you have confidence in what will actually happen to you in your eternal future? Do you really believe in Heaven? As a child of Christ you hold the deed to your heavenly home, but you have not taken possession yet. Is the Word of God for your life and His assurance enough to give you full confidence? Some fault Christians for looking for pie in the sky. They can not relate to the promise we have faith in and know will happen.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. It is the assurance that leads to our convictions about God and His promises. We are certain of what we do not see and sure of our future because God said it and He is Truth. Even though some promises have not been revealed to our senses, we perceive them as fact, because of who made the promise.
Based on your past experience do you believe the sun will rise in the morning and set in the evening? The evidence is not based on your senses but instead on your believe and faith that what has occurred in the past will be repeated in the future. We all have to accept as reality what in fact is fragile and uncertain. WHAT IS FAITH? FAITH IS TRUSTING GOD AND HIS WORD.
