What is Faith?

As Christians and true beleivers in God, it is important to understand what "faith" is from GOD'S POINT OF VIEW. Because to some it may be to just beleive in God, to others it may be to give money to charities and have good deeds in society, but what if we fail to reach the goal or our faith?

1Peter 1:9 "for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls."

Let's see according to the Word of God what faith is, so that we can see whether or not we are on the right track to the salvation of our souls.

Heb 11:1 "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

In other words, the hope to the Kingdom of Heaven and beleive in the invisible world is faith. Then, God is invisible, but we beleive that He exists. But how can we understand who God is?

Rom 1:20 "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities- his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made so that men are without excuse."

Then though we can't see God, we can understand who God is through what He created. This is faith, to beleive in the works of God and find out the will behind it, for it is written:

Rev 4:11 11"You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being."


Then what did God make in the creation? This is important to know, because if we understand the will behind it we will make our faith complete and achieve the ultimate goal which is the salvation of our soul. Please come back for our next post where we will discuss this further.

Father God and Mother God bless you!
