Have Faith In God

Having Faith In God
Having faith is vital for us, but how do we define it? I think we will find the answer in Hebrews 11, the faith chapter. Every one mentioned here simply took God at His word and obeyed His commands. And for this, they were all remembered for their faith. Believing the word of God and acting on what we know is living by faith. Faith is not hoping something will happen, faith is knowing that it will happen.
So now the questions are, "How do we get this faith?" and "How do we increase in faith?" Our faith is not just intellectual knowledge and agreement. It is more than just acknowledging certain facts about Jesus, the Bible, the resurrection or anything else from scripture. It is taking our entire life and making a stand that is based on our confidence in these facts. Genuine faith is life changing.
My aim in this book is to give you a start in your life of "having faith in God". This will be for you a lifelong pursuit, not something you can do today and then forget about it. No, the road will be long, with many twists and turns along the way. Opposition to your new found faith in God will inevitably be encountered the whole way.
As you grow in faith, there will be some changes to your lifestyle. Some will be only minor changes. Others may be massive as you learn how God wants you to live. But all of them will be not only necessary but worthwhile.
Keeping your eyes and mind on the end goal of being in God's kingdom will give you the courage to face these troubles.
If you feel the need to find God, to find the way to having faith in God today, then the only place you will find the answers is in the Bible. Please use this book as a stepping stone to your faithful future, and may our Almighty God bless you on your way down that road.
