True Faith Rests On The Character Of God. Series

If i looked out the window and saw the trees gently swaying or a ball on the lawn that had been lying still few minutes ago suddenly start rolling, there would be no doubt in my mind Something was moving them. No doubt that was a passing wind. I could describe the effects of the wind the swaying trees and rolling ball but I couldn't tell you the color of the wind, or what it particularly looked like. Something with weight and substance had to have made the ball and trees move, something that can't be seen with the naked eye.

Faith is the Substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. If it's a substance then like the wind, it's tangible and it's something with "weight" and because of that it's something that moves and shifts things. We need faith to move and shift things that we need from the spiritual to the physical realm. The "things hoped for" and "things not seen" have to be yanked in because they Are already there and already exist. What makes faith the "substance" and "evidence"? How can we be so sure what we ask for already exists before we even ask for it?

Real faith rests on the Character of God, it rests on the Character of A Person whose very Name is Faithful and True and for whom it's impossible to lie. When we pray by faith we know we have what we prayed for because Jesus said if we ask anything in His Name we should believe we have received it. Faith becomes our substance and evidence because of the unwavering, unchanging, utterly reliable Character of God. Paul said "I know in Whom I have believed, " A Person who said many times He would never leave us nor forsake us.
