Devotion |
| What is authentic faith? |
| The cultivation of an optimistic outlook on life with a kind of spirituality |
| attached to it? |
| A holy hoping for the best? |
| Is this how you think of faith? |
| Authentic faith is the confident assurance in events not yet seen |
| Faith is not a call to believe in things when common sense tells you not to |
| Faith is not a mindless stab in the dark |
| It is not a crossing of the fingers and hoping for the best |
| It is not a leap into apparent nothingness |
| It’s a word that speaks of reasoned, careful, deliberate, intentional thought |
| Thought upon what? |
| God and his promises |
| If you are absolutely gripped by the coming realities that have been promised |
| to you by God, then how you live your life in the present will be radically |
| different than if you did not possess that certainty |
| This is what faith is, my friends! |
| Positive certainty expressed in action |
| Authentic faith is not merely believing in God. |
| It is believing God |
| Taking God at his word, living in obedience to his revelation whatever the cost |
| because you know down deep in your bones that God will always do what he says, |
| that his speaking is his doing |
| It is an abiding assurance in God and his promises that animates you to |
| persevere in your obedience to Him |
| Do you wish to be a more consistently obedient, steadily persevering Christian? |
| A stronger Christian? |
| A more courageous and outspoken Christian? |
| Then you need to strengthen your faith! |
| Your faith instinctively strengthens in direct proportion to the expansion of |
| the object of your faith! |
| You expand your understanding of the object of your faith and faith itself will |
| obediently follow |
| The object of your faith--if indeed you are a Christian--is Jesus Christ and |
| all of his promises |
| Is your faith weak? |
| It is owing to the fact that you don’t know the object of your faith well enough |
| But when Jesus Christ becomes progressively bigger, or better yet, |
| your understanding of who he is progressively conforms to reality, |
| your faith will become increasingly stronger |
| But how does that happen? |
| By immersing yourself in the faith-arousing Word of God |
| Read of Jesus Christ! |
| The same powerful Word that long ago brought the universe to life is the same |
| Word that can bring you to life and furnish you with a faith that is truly and |
| authentically Christian |
