Faith in God- Believing No Matter What.

Rom 1:16  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 
Rom 1:17  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. 

The gospel of Christ has POWER, the gospel of Christ IS POWER, and the power is it… is of GOD unto salvation to EVERYONE that believes.

The RIGHTEOUSNESS of  GOD is revealed from faith to faith, from believing to believing. The JUST shall LIVE BY FAITH.

When you choose to be a Christian you are choosing to live by FAITH.  You can't make anyone believe, they have to choose to believe on their own.  You can tell someone that you have faith and they may say how can you believe just by believing, it makes no sense, there has to be more you have to have something tangible, proof.

Faith- Heb_11:1  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith is the substance of THINGS HOPED FOR.
Faith is the EVIDENCE of things NOT SEEN.

Faith.

By its very nature faith cannot be touched physically.  Faith is a choice.

We place our faith in people, and in things all the time. A person puts faith in their vehicles that they are going to get them to where they need to go. When their vehicles break down, they start to lose faith in the vehicle. They get the vehicle fixed and once again they begin to have faith in that vehicle. We have faith in people that they will behave in a certain manner, hopefully respectable and kind. We have faith in our spouses. We don't lose faith in them until they do something against the trust, the faith we've placed in them to not harm us- mentally, emotionally, and physically. Then we make a choice to learn to have faith in the person once again or not.

Having faith in God is having faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ, having faith in the revealed truth given to us, having faith in the prophecies we need to comprehend. We don't ever have to lose FAITH in God because He's only ever told us the truth. We are to put our TREASURES in heaven, not earth. We are to seek a heavenly home, not cling to this earthly one. Our lives here on earth are going to be filled with heartache, agonizing heartache, pain, unbelievable agony in many way. We are NOT promised easy lives here and now, we just aren't. Our faith doesn't need to perish as we are tested and tried in horrific fires over and over again through our lives, because our faith tells us we will be tested this way. Our hope is in Jesus, and Jesus is in heaven, and Jesus will come again and take us back to heaven with Him.

Faith - unseen belief, believing no matter what.

All by the grace and love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, now and forever!!!!!!!
