What faith is and is not!

Imagem de capa - What faith is and is not!

Faith is an absolute conviction;

It is reason;

It is intelligence;

It is the conviction that God will fulfill what He promised;

Faith does not come out of nowhere;

It does not happen by chance or fall from the sky like rain;

It occurs through the action of the Spirit of God,

For those who listen to His Word,

And practice it;

Faith does not console the widow, the orphan, or the mourner;

But eliminates their pain and sorrows;

It does not sate the hunger of the hungry,

Nor does it provide a home for the homeless;

He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the beggar from the ash heap, to set them among princes and make them inherit the throne of glory. 1 Samuel 2.8

The same way faith comes,

So does the courage to execute it;

Faith and courage walk hand in hand because they come from the Holy Spirit.

Faith is not an emotion;

It is not a feeling;

It is not a sense of well-being.

FAITH IS LIFE!

…The righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1.17
