Faith

Heb 11:1  Faith is what makes real the things we hope for. It is proof of what we cannot see. 

Heb 11:2  God was pleased with the people who lived a long time ago because they had faith like this. 

Heb 11:3  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. 

God wants us to believe in him. The promises of God are real and we believe in them by faith. We were not here at the creation of the worlds, but God was and is.

The LORD spoke to Job and through him to us. Some things we must believe by faith.

Job 38:4  “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. 

Job 38:5  Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? 

Job 38:6  On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone, 

Job 38:7  when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 

There is a lot that we do not know. The Bible says that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. 

Pro 9:10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. 

Pro 9:11  For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life. 

We are to have faith in God and Jesus the Son of God. 

Heb 11:6  And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. 

The world teaches you to have faith in yourself. Self is not God. We cannot save ourselves. With God all things are possible. God loves you and wants you to be the best that he created you for. It begins by having faith in Him. Without him life has little meaning.
