READ THIS PARTWhat is faith?
Hebrews 11: 1
1 Now faith is the substance [assurance] of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
I listened to a BYU devotional that totally change my perspective on faith:
The Power of your Words by Craig Manning
Here is the concept:
If you believe you are a good athlete, then you will work hard, go to practice and put in the time and effort to be a good athlete!
On the other hand, let's say you believe you are a bad student. You might always go to class, but because you don't believe you are a good student, you will not become one. You will not take the action/do the work required to do well in school.
Its clear by these examples how tied our actions are to our faith!
Take the man sick with palsy for example:
Mark 2: 4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
They saw the crowds of people--to someone with no faith it would have been easy to give up and think it was "impossible" to get to Jesus.
But not this man's friends!
They believed so assuredly that Jesus could heal this man that they did someone a faithless person would never have thought of doing--go through the roof!
Faith will determine our behavior! I truly believe that with 信心有辦法 (with faith there is a way). As we have faith in Jesus Christ, we will never run out of ideas! We will take action to get to the end, to Him.
早安～
