Gotta Have Faith?

What is faith?

Well, I don't know how to describe faith to you but I can tell you this: If it weren't for faith, I wouldn't make it out of my bed in the morning and I would not return to it at night.

Faith is when you work hard and smart even when the outcome is unseen.
Well, duh! It cannot be faith unless the outcome is unseen. If the outcome is visible then we're not talking faith, we're talking belief.

Well, without faith the world would end. There would be no achievers. There would be no overcomers. There would be no hope for tomorrow.

So what is faith? I really cannot answer that question for you. It's just something that you have to believe.

Whenever I am asked the question "what is faith" I go to Hebrews 11:1 - "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

However, although the verse mentions that which we do not see, I don't believe it means the results or outcome will never be seen. I have had faith in the past that God would provide, heal, instruct, etc., and seen the results. The Bible bears this out too. Consider Sarah and Abraham's faith - "By faith Abraham, even though he was past age—and Sarah herself was barren—was enabled to become a father because he considered him faithful who had made the promise."

In fact, I just saw once again the results of my faith in God's promises, which only came about b/c I put my faith on the line.  Thanks for the word on faith, Aaron. ~mike
