BELIEF IN GOD
image
The life of a Christian is a life of faith. The Christian race begins, runs-through and terminates with faith. The word believeth denotes the act and process of faith, the word faith occurs 247 times in the bible.
We do not get anything from through unbelief, faithlessness or hope. When the bible talks of substance of things hoped for, substance in this context means tangible, visible and touchable. We must express our faith in a manner that is truly palpable. Faith is also the down payment of the things desired (Hebrews 6:11-12), stimulus of Christianity (Hebrews 11:33), shield of Christian armour (Ephesians 6:16), and guarantee of answered prayer (Matthew 21:22)

The main text recounts the conversation between the father of a lunatic child and our lord Jesus Christ. In response to the request of the child’s father, “if thou can do anything, have compassion and help us”, Jesus point out that the “if thou can” is a responsibility that is expected from the child’s father and not from him. The saviour will always go as far as any mans faith can go. The kingdom rule states “Be it unto thee according to thy faith” (Matthew 9:29)

God by his divine power has the ability fulfil his promise, make grace abound, subdue the devil and heal the sick. All human needs can be obtained through faith in God.
In conclusion, we should believe the Lord in all circumstances of life. Against all odds, we should believe. In season and out of season, we should believe and we continue to believe, all things are possible to him that believeth and every challenge of life will fizzle out in the face of real faith in the Lord.

Thanks for sharing this with us, faith is very important is just like our foundation, and I also support your conclusion "In conclusion, we should believe the Lord in all circumstances of life. Against all odds, we should believe. In season and out of season, we should believe and we continue to believe, all things are possible to him that believeth and every challenge of life will fizzle out in the face of real faith in the Lord.
Jesus healed the sick, gave sight to the blind, healed those who couldn't talk, made the lame walk, and made the dead rise. Those miracles don't happen today.
Faith isn't blind. It's an assurance of what we already know. That God exists. That Jesus died for us because we repented of our sins and accepted what Jesus did on the cross as payment for our sins. We know that all things work together for good for those of us who love God.
Faith is an important key ingredient in our kingdom, for me I call it one of the foundational keys of Christianity among the two which is hope and love as Apostle Paul stated in 1 Cor. 13:13. We all need faith in our walk with God and not only that but also work on the measure to which we have received. Thanks for this great message @shedrachedema
The faith of a christian is the fundamental block to his salvation and by our faith we may know Him and we will be saved. Thanks @shadrachedema for such an insightful message
God bless you @shedrachedema. Having Faith is the only way we can please God. That's the only currency we can use to draw Joy from the well of salvation
GOD provides for His family!
Faith is very important in Christianity, in fact Christianity is all about faith, when you pray in faith and it seems answer is not coming that simply means you need to put your faith into action.
Faith is a serious issue in the heart of God. Hebrews 11 let us to know that God is the first user of faith ,for by it He creates all things. And we must approach Him in faith if we want to be in good term with Him. Jesus lamented when departing from this earth by saying, "will I meet Faith again on earth" Devil is at war with the custodians of faith. Let us guide and guard our heart to keep the faith. Thanks for sharing this thought provoking post.
