Faith is the most powerful of the emotions a human being experiences. Applied faith is the quickest and most definite way to move our lives toward what we desire. Although I believe the best working definition of faith is found in Hebrews chapter 11, verse 1 of the Bible, I do not wish to necessarily infer a religious connotation. Faith, as referred to in this article, works equally for all. Related Article Tags: , , , , , , ,
The Children of Israel that came out of Egypt believed a lie and it cost them their lives. They were rescued from slavery and given the opportunity of a lifetime, but they lost it because of their unbelief.

Everyone wants to receive from God, but many people don't even meet God's very first requirement: "believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6). But why should we believe that any God exists at all? "The heavens declare the glory of God" (Psalms 19:1) The Bible contains some very ancient information about the beginning of the universe which we are only now beginning to understand.

Jesus Christ had to be many things: the Lamb of God, the High priest, the Son of Man and so forth, as we have expounded. Every time he was seen besides God, He was shown in Action, according to the necessities of the great plan of salvation. He had to become all these things for the sake of our redemption.

Cain and Abel are the first in the 'Faith Hall of Fame'. Cain is a supreme example of lack of faith, while Abel is an excellent example of faith in action. By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks. (Hebrews 11:4, NKJV) Related Article Tags: , , , , ,
