Hebrews 11:6 " But without faith it is impossible to please him:for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him".
Trust and fidelity; faith in God and faithfulness to His word are essiential aspects of teh way of life of the scriptures.Infidelity, the absence of faithfulness is a major cause of broken relationships, especially marriages.In any close relationship faithfulness and trust are vital.Commitment is the foundation,the bedrock of any genuinely loving relationship.Both side has to be faithful in order for the relationship to flurish.
Belief in God is not enough;such faith without works is dead.A living faith an active faith is a must, we must be doers of the word and not hearer only, decieving ourselves.We must demonstrate our faith by walking in God's word and trusting in his promises.Abraham's dynamic example shows what living faith in God really is.Abraham not only believed in God, but he also believed what God said and followed what God commanded.This is the way we must live to live a life pleasing to God.Since God is faithful to us, he expects us to be faithful to Him.He expects us to believe in His faithfulness, to trust Him with a loyal heart.Because he trusted God,Abraham lived the way of life that pleased God.Since genuine Christianity is a way of life,God expects us to prove our faith with our actions and deeds.This is the way those in the hall of faith lived.
Putting God first requires faith and sacrifice,as Christians we are face with trials and suffering just as Jesus and the disciples did.Such suffering is not unusual,almost everyone suffers in one way or another. But God's servants understand that their trials and suffering;can help them build and strengthen their character.They know "all things work together for good to those who love God,to those who are the called according to His purpose".Those who have faith in God's faithfulness, are confident they can trust Him to act on their behalf.They know that when He intervenes in their trials to deliever them,His intervention will be in their best interest according to His purpose.They trust God's wisdom and fairness and are willing to suffer to prove it.You either trust God or you don't.Believe in the faithfulness of God and live a life that is pleasing in His sight.Jesus will never fail
trust and believe Jesus will never fail
