Importance of Faith #1

I am sorry that I haven't been corresponding here lately. But now I have a message for you. Something to think about.

Hebrews 11:6, "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 that diligently seek him."

Without faith its impossible to please God. It seems we have no choice here. Why? God is God. He is the creator of all things. He knows what is best for us. Because it was with His wisdom that created the worlds and that created us. And because we are weak he makes a way to survive in our lives. He sent His only Son Jesus to die in our place because of our sinful state. There was no man on earth that could sacrifice himself because he was full of sin and unholy. God knew from the beginning that He had to send a holy lamb, one that was spotless, to fill that position. He sent a holy seed and placed it in the womb of a worthy vessel, Mary.

now look at Heb.10:38,Now the just shall live by faith, but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. He commands us to have faith. Man failed in the earth so we have to trust God in everything. Look at Rom.3:10-12,There is none righteous, no not one. There is none that understands, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, They are together become unprofitable, There none that doeth good, no not one."

See, we are unable to do things ourselves. Sure man has been able to survive on his own terms but without God in his life it is all vain. The things man does will not save him from eternal hell. We must rely on Gods wonderful Grace to make it in this world. So now it is much more profitable to walk the walk of faith in God. Think about that for a while till next time and I will continue in talking about Faith.

Keep serving Him
