The Gift of Faith

 

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

     Our faith in Jesus has substance and our hope in Him is real. Even though we have not seen Christ, we believe! 

Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:29

     Faith is all He asks of us. Faith in His name, in His shed blood on the cross, in His death and resurrection, in eternity to come. It is only through faith that we are saved.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and it is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8

     Only through the grace of God do we find faith. Even our faith is not of ourselves. It is a gift from our loving God. Have you seen the evidence of His love in your life? Have you believed in the substance of your faith in Him? It is real. He is real. Hope is alive. We know we are saved. Believe!

Jesus,

Thank You for the gift of faith and the substance of everything You offer. The evidence of Your love is real. Help our unbelief. Give us opportunities to share our faith today.

Amen
