THE HALL OF FAITH!
Come with me now as we walk down the Hall of Faith to view the lives of great men and women of faith. We will see faith in action, faith in sacrifice and faith unto death. Faith that overcomes fear and doubt. The kind of faith that brings victory over every trial and circumstance we face.
First we will discover together what true faith is, what it means to you in your everyday life and the future God has planned for you.
THE EXPLANATION OF BIBLICAL FAITH.
What is faith?
Paul in his letter to the Hebrew Christians in chapter eleven explains the meaning of faith.
“NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS WE HOPE FOR AND THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS WE CANNOT SEE.”
Hebrews 11:1
Hope sees the Physical… Faith sees into the Spiritual World.
The New Living Translation puts it this way.
“NOW FAITH IS THE CONFIDENCE IN WHAT WE HOPE FOR AND THE ASSURANCE OF WHAT WE SEE.”
The Passion translation states it this way.
“NOW FAITH BRINGS OUR HOPES INTO REALITY AND BECOMES OUR FOUNDATION NEEDED TO AQUIRE THE THINGS WE LONG FOR.”
Our heroes from the Hall of Faith testify to the kind of faith we need from previous generations to enable us to walk by faith and not by sight.
I strongly recommend that you read this chapter slowly and carefully several times. Stop and meditate upon each character as they, through faith and by faith, accomplish extraordinary things, yes, even miracles for the glory of God.
Right from the creation of the world and the unseen world that exists simultaneously.
“THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.
Hebrews 10:35.
Faith must be your driving force to enable you to survive in this dark world of sin.
Your conversion to Christ was an act of faith. You cannot be saved unless you believe in Christ’s finished work by His birth, death, and resurrection.
You cannot exist without exercising faith in your life. Faith empowers you to step out in obedience to God’s promises; it means taking a risk to obey, even when you can’t see the outcome of that decision.
Why? Because “He is faithful who calls you, and He will do it through you.”
Faith is also a Spiritual gift from God, and as we exercise it, it grows and changes from “Little faith to Great faith.”
Always keep in your mind that it is His faith in and working through you. He is always the direction of your faith. This means that you possess “miracle-working faith” that can break through every power of evil, heal the sick, raise the dead and remove the mountains of impossibility.
Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. Do you realise that God has placed within you an immeasurable dynamite potential to change the world… You, yes you!
You copy Christ, and you will do the greater things. You can win souls for Christ; even the most complex criminal will submit to the Gospel. The highly addicted drug addict can be set free from its power. You will cast out demons in His name.
In the meantime, He is melting away all your inhibitions and transforming you into His image.
Start small and watch your faith grow… Just do it !
Gone are the days when you attended church, took in all the outstanding teaching, and did nothing. In these last days, you have been urged to count the cost and pay the price to reach people with the gospel of Christ.
It’s not easy, so it takes faith—the faith of Christ working in and through you. You trust and obey. You obey by faith, then trust!
Make Jesus Lord of your life, surrender all to him, holding nothing back, and you will be totally surprised by what He will do with and because of you.
Amen.
Philippians 4:13.
