Faith Brings Understanding
Hebrews 11:3
“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
Faith is simply taking God at his word. The Old Testament saints who lived, endured, and died in the faith, had from God the testimony that they were pleasing him. It is important to remember that God has never had two ways of saving men. Faith has always been the way to salvation. Faith in God in the Old Testament (Old Covenant) and faith in the blood of Christ in the New Testament (New Covenant).
Through faith we find the answers to the origin of the universe. Scholars and scientists speculate but we know because we believe God. To those who have faith in God there is no mystery. They believe the word of God and that he created all things, and that by him “all things consist” (Colossians 1:17) or, are held together. The Christian knows by faith that God’s word is true, and that is enough for him.
God bless and stay safe!
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Jeff
