Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV) 11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
What is faith?
This is a question asked by millions around the world just about every day.
First, here’s what faith is not.
Faith is not hype.
Faith is not emotionalism.
Faith is not weird.
Faith is not flaky.
Here’s what faith is: Believing something in our hearts that our heads can’t comprehend or understand, and being perfectly OK with that.
By faith, we trust God with our eternal destiny. We believe that Jesus died for us, rose from the dead and ascended to heaven.
By faith we believe that our sins are forgiven, simply by putting our faith in Christ and asking to be forgiven. There is no special song and dance we need to perform. We ask. We believe. We receive.
We don’t even question any of these things until we start trying to figure them out or try to make sense of them with our intellect. Only then does our faith begin to falter.
Don’t try to figure it out. Don’t try to make sense of it. Don’t try to get it to fit into an intellectual mold.
Faith can’t be figured out with logic or reasoning. It doesn’t make sense to our heads and it can never, ever be made to fit into any kind of intellectual box or mold.
Faith. It is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen.
