Of Faith

Of Faith

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” 
Hebrews 11:1

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6
Faith in God is a very difficult thing to have. You can’t see Him or touch Him which in itself makes it hard for people to believe in Him. That’s why I believe Jesus came.
John in his gospel records this conversation,
“Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?  
Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.”
                                    John 14:8-11.
Jesus came into this world I believe for several reasons. One I believe is to experience what it was to be a man, so that he could better judge people.
Noone can stand before Him on Judgement day and say you don’t know what it was like to be a man. To be tempted to go through all the trials and tribulations of man, because he doses.
Jesus walked this earth, and experienced all it was to be a man.
The other reason Jesus came to this earth was to show people God exists.
Jesus performed miracles and wonders witnessed by many and recorded for the ages both inside and outside the bible.
Jesus is God. Paul states,
“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,” 
                                                                                             Colossians 2:9 .
Jesus is the embodiment of God. All the attributes of God’s love and affection for mankind are displayed in Jesus.
I believe if we truly study the Bible and especially the New Testament we will have something to base our faith on. All it takes is the desire to search out the truths that are presented in the whole Bible and the individual will find God.
Think about it.
