Just Believe

I heard a great teacher of faith give this response when asked why he taught so much about faith. He said according to Ephesians 2:8 we are saved by faith. No one can be saved without faith. Romans 1:17 says the just shall live by faith. As Christians we cannot live without faith. The Bible says that we walk by faith in II Corinthians 5:7. We cannot walk with God every day without faith. The Apostle Paul said that our faith grows exceedingly in II Thessalonians 1:3. Therefore, we spiritually grow up by faith. We please God by faith. According to Hebrews 11:6 it is impossible for us to please God without faith. God said it is impossible! Wow! No matter how developed we are in hope, love, joy, peace and giving; you and I cannot please our Father God without faith! So, we are saved, we walk, we live, we grow and we please God by faith. It sounds to me like faith is very, very important! Of course it is not the only subject to teach from the Bible, but it is one we should major in! Since faith comes by hearing God's Word (Romans 10:17), let us press in with all of our hearts to see our faith soar to new heights every day!!
