Faith

Discover faith the unseen realm.

To fully understand faith, you must realize that the world you can’t see (the invisible) is as real as the one you can see (the visible). You can’t see oxygen, but you breathe it for life—it is vital to our existence. How silly it would be to say that oxygen doesn’t exist just because you can’t see it. The invisible is given form and substance by your faith: “for we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Cor. 5:7).

God will reveal a truth from His Word, but you may not see immediate physical manifestation of it! This doesn’t mean that the truth with our eyes or recognize it with our senses. When you put your trust in God you believe in something you can’t touch or see:

While we look not at things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.         --          (2 Corinthians 4:18).

Faith is vital to your life; without it, you can’t please God. You may truly want to please God and be like Him, yet feel that you can’t pull one more ounce of faith out of the hat! Let’s be honest –we aren’t capable of producing God pleasing faith in our own strength. In order to please Him and be like Him, we must have His kind of faith, not faith built on our level of education, how much money we make, or how holy we appear to be:

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 of them that diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:6).
