Hebrews 11:1 – 2 (ESV)
“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.”
Can we prove anything? “Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence” is how The American Heritage Dictionary describes faith. Is Christianity logical or is the evidence by our faith?
The disciples walked with Jeus we did not, they saw the open tomb we did not, there were over five hundred witnesses to Jesus’ resurrection. Here is evidence of His life, death, and resurrection. We believe what they said and what they wrote.
Our life as Christ Followers is based on faith it is based on what we cannot see – yet. But it is based on what we have hope in.
God can do exceedingly above all that we believe. He is the all powerful One who we put that faith in that cannot see the future but we can live in expectation. We need to keep in His Word, remain in communion with Him while all the time maintaining our familiarity with His promises and by doing so our faith will be strengthened.
“You never test the resources of God until you attempt the impossible.” F. B. Meyer.
God Bless.
