By Faith…

Read Hebrews 11

By faith the people of God were able to do miraculous things with courage and the strength of the Lord. From Moses in confronting Pharaoh to “let his people go”, to Daniel in the lions den not afraid to holdfast to his faith despite the rising odds against him.
The entire Bible is built upon men and women of simplicity who lived their lives in faith. Not to say they didn’t stumble but that they rose again to continue in the Lord’s work.

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
Hebrews 11:3

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6

So then, having with us today the same God as the One spoken of in the scriptures, shall we not have the boldness to do mighty things as well? For by faith we can be saved through grace, gaining life eternal with Him in heaven. If faith is the key to salvation, certainly what more can we do by faith through the power and will of God? Shall we not dare to believe? Dare to take a leap of faith?
