Faith
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1.
Faith we all have faith. We practice faith all the time. We have faith in our employer that they are not going to fire us. We have faith that when we turn the key of our car it will start. That when we turn on the light switch the lights will go on. These are everyday things we here in North America at least put our faith in and don’t think about.
Some people go even further they put their faith in the stock market in the hope of getting a good return on their money. They put their faith in banks that they will keep their money safe and give at least some interest on the money deposited.
Scientist exercise faith all the time. They postulate a theory from information and observations they see around them then put the theory out there for their peers to look at.
For many scientific theories such as Einstein and others have postulated the proof was not produced in their lifetime. Yet these men and women believed all their life in these theories.
So it is with God. Those of us who believe in God and particularly Christians believe in God because of what we see around us, and what we read in the Bible.
We see a world and indeed a universe that is in perfect mathematical order. Designed in such a way that life can exist as we know it here on earth. A world that we feel could not be formed by chance.
We believe the Psalmist who wrote,
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Psalm 19:1.
We believe the writer of Genesis when he wrote,
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1.
We may not be able to prove it in this life time, but then Einstein could not prove some of his theories in his life time.
Christians have faith there is a God who created the universe. Faith as defined by the writer of Hebrews who said,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1
Who went on to say,
“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.
This is most certainly something we will have proven upon our death.
What do you believe?
Please think about it.
