The writer of Hebrews describes faith in Hebrews 11 as the "assurance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen".
And in the verse above, the writer says that we understand, by faith, that GOD created the heavens and the earth.
Faith is the most important part of being a Christ follower. Without faith, we are simply not believers.
We need to have absolute faith that Jesus is GOD. We need to have unfettered faith that Jesus added humanity to HIS deity and took on the form of man, having been born of a virgin mother. HE lived a sinless life. HE then took all of sins to the Cross where HE was punished for our sins and the wrath of GOD was poured out on HIM. HE shed HIS blood as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Jesus then died on that cross, having surrendered HIS life to death for us. HE rose again on the third day, conquering death for us to have eternal life with HIM in heaven.
HE has gone before us to prepare a place for us in Heaven.
All of this we believe by faith. The assurance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.
Faith in Jesus is the cornerstone to life in Heaven.
And there is no other way!
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that I have faith in Jesus Christ, YOU FATHER and the Holy Spirit. I thank YOU that I know my REDEEMER lives with YOU in Heaven. FATHER help me to grow my faith daily. I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay faithfully Jesus Blessed today!
