FAITH
Hebrews 11: 1: Now
faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
It is God’s grace to
make his child walk by faith not by sight. While the unbelieving trusts in
earthly foundations which fleshly senses deceptively perceive to be substantial
and lasting, faith is the substance of
things hoped because it rests in the immoveable, eternal foundation Christ
Jesus the Rock. While the unbelieving
seeks evidences in signs which fleshly eyes can see, which evidences shall be dissolved;
faith is the evidence of things not seen
because it believes on Christ whose new creation, though unseen with natural
eye, is immovably secure and eternally permanent by his righteousness and
holiness.
