Seeing The Unseen ch. 22

Hello, hello, hello everyone! I hope and pray everyone is doing well. I just finished reading Seeing The Unseen. The last chapter (tweenty-two) is on How Does Faith Give The Victory(?). Faith is defined perfectly by Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see". And verse 6 says, "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". I love this statement Beam makes, " Faith believes that God keeps His word, rewarding those who are His". We get faith by reading God's Word and believing it. As Romans 10:17 says, "Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word of Christ". We can have faith in the future. As Paul told the Corinthian Christians in 2 Corinthians 4:16 and following that we don't lose heart though our bodies waste away yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. Faith also overcomes temptation. We must continually believe Jesus will help us beat temptation. We need to have faith to go on. And lastly we must have faith to die. No matter what we've done in our lives, if we gave our lives to Him we don't have to fear death. We belong to Him. What can we fear? Absolutely nothing! Praise God for that!
God bless you all in Jesus' name today and everyday! Peace.
