What
Is Faith?
In
Hebrews 11:1 It states that , “Now faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” At first glance it
appears that something does not make sense here. We usually don't
think of faith as a substance, in other words something solid. When I
think of the evidence of things not seen, I think of radar scans that
have indicated the presence of a very large living creature in Lake
Champlain. They are not talking about actually seeing Champ, the lake
monster with their own eyes, they are getting some potentially useful
information from another source. This scripture verse is talking
about something that is solid and that there is believable evidence
of.
Most
of our lives are an act of faith. We get into our cars each day and
have faith that we will not die in a car accident. We marry our
spouses with the faith that they will be not be unfaithful or leave
us. Most of us depend upon some force for good in the universe,
someone or something very powerful that has our backs. For most of us
this is God.
