The dictionary defines faith as an
unquestioning belief in a person or God. To have faith in a person,
you must first respect them. Eve knew and understood what God had
spoken but she didn't actually believe there would be consequences
for eating the forbidden fruit. On the contrary, Noah believed there
would be a flood and followed God's instructions to build a boat and
was rewarded for his obedience. Moses did not start out with great
faith but over time he learned to know and trust God. We need to
understand that God has integrity, and when we doubt Him, we
essentially call him a liar. It makes God furious when we attack His
character. It is no wonder that the Bible says it is impossible to
please God without faith. Faith is not a feeling or an affiliation
with a denomination but an unquestioning belief in God. Your
knowledge and view of God is going to shape your faith in Him. |
