Have Faith In God

Having faith in God is absolutely vital for each of us, but the real question is how do we actually define what faith is. I believe we will discover the answer in Hebrews 11, which is widely known as the faith chapter. Every single person mentioned here simply took God at His word and obeyed His commands without hesitation. And because of this, they were all remembered throughout history for their faith. Believing the word of God and then acting on what we know is what it truly means to live by faith. Faith is not merely hoping that something will happen; faith is knowing with confidence that it will happen.
So now the important questions become, "How do we get this faith." and "How do we increase in faith." Our faith is not just intellectual knowledge and agreement with certain ideas. It is far more than just acknowledging certain facts about Jesus, the Bible, the resurrection, or anything else from scripture. It is taking our entire life and making a stand that is based on our confidence in these facts. Genuine faith is life changing.
My aim in this book is to give you a start in your life of "having faith in God". This will be for you a life long pursuit, Not something you can do today and then forget about it. No, the road will be long with many twists and turns along the way. Opposition to your new found faith in God will inevitably be encountered the whole way.
As you grow in faith, there will be some changes to your life style. Some will be only minor changes. Others may be massive as you learn how God wants you to live. But all of them will be not only necessary but worthwhile.
If you keep your eyes and your mind fixed on the end goal of being in God's Kingdom, you will find the courage you need to face these troubles.
If you feel the need to find God, to find the way to having faith in God today, then the only place you will find the answers is in the Bible. Please consider using this book as a stepping stone to your faithful future, and may our Almighty God bless you on your way down that road.
