Where Is Your Faith?

Everyone has a measure of faith. We have faith that we we sit down the chair will hold us, etc. That's one kind of faith. But where is your faith when it comes to God? Do you believe His Word? Do you believe He gave His Son to die on the cross for you? Do you believe that Jesus was raised from the dead?

You may believe that God is good but is He so good that He would give His Son to die for me? The answer is yes, and it's not that God is just good, it's that He loves you more than you can comprehend. Now comes the part of acting on your faith. You must believe more than that God loves you. You need to believe the rest (His Word, that He gave Jesus to die and that He raised Him from the dead). Impossible stuff? Yes, for mankind, but not for God.

Exercise your faith today if you have not already done so and believe what I have just shared with you. It's in the Bible (Romans 10: 1-10). Ask Jesus to come into your life and forgive you of all your sins (Romans 3: 23). Then, start reading the Bible (an easy to read version is the New Living Translation (NLT) and watch your faith take off.

With faith in God and His Word, you've got an eternal world to learn about.

'Til the storm passes,
