Faith
Now faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not seenā¦
By faith we understand that the worlds
Were framed by the word of Godā¦
But without faith it is impossible to please Him,
For he who comes to God must believe that He
is, and that He is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek Himā¦
By faith Abraham obeyedā¦ not
knowing where he was goingā¦
for he waited for the city which has foundations,
whose builder and maker is God.
Hebrews 11:1-10 (NKJV)
Faith is the abiding certainty,
Of God and hope of eternity.
It is not a wishful illusion,
Nor a mindless superstition;
For in creation and history, Is
evidence of Godās activity.
Faith is a life of adventure,
With God into the future;
Stepping into the unknown,
On His promises alone;
Obeying Him absolutely
In prosperity and adversity.
Faith believes and pleases God,
By acknowledging Him as Lord.
It constantly looks forward,
To His promised reward, Of
a wonderful celestial city,
Prepared for us in eternity.
