Faith is having complete trust or confidence in someone or something. In Christianity it is believing in something that you have never seen. Reality tells you that it is impossible, but you believe that it is real making it possible. Your faith believes in Jesus as your evidence.
Faith is believing that salvation comes through Jesus alone. There is no other way. If you choose to follow Jesus, then it will change every aspect of your life: how you view the world, react to the world, and wisdom. Jesus gives you a different kind of control over your life. His control leads to freedom that the world does not understand. You choose to obey God even when you do not understand because you believe that it is for a bigger purpose than yourself.
You have the opportunity to be made right with God because Jesus can to this world to be the human sacrifice for everyone's sins. All you have to do is believe. When you do you start following Him to experience a little of heaven on earth even in suffering. You do this because you know when you die you will join him for an eternity of peace that is unknown in the world today.
You cannot earn salvation. You can only find it in faith. Faith becomes a part of who you are in the core because the Holy Spirit lives in you now. It is only the beginning to your new life's journey. It will be full of ups and downs, but you are no longer alone in any of it.
You become Jesus' modern day witness to tell the world how he changed your life. Faith is personal and lived out publicly. The stronger your character becomes like Jesus the more impact you will have in the world. You choose a life of obedience over comfort. You choose to walk in faith over feelings. It is not easy, but it does lead to internal and eternal peace.
Faith is taking God at His Word. The Bible proves that God never lies, so you have support there. You believe in God's promises. You can look at your own life there and see how He has come through and trust that He will again.
Faith is more than one sided thought. You have to make yourself available to God. You will never grow and mature if you do not invest in the relationship. You are open to living a new and extraordinary life or a simple one that impacts the people around you. The size of your journey doesn't mean anything. God puts you where He wants you. He just wants you to follow Him faithfully and keep Him your primary heart focus.
Isaiah 6:8-10, Matthew 5:13-16, Acts 1:7-8, & Hebrews 11
