Faith

No matter how you look at it, with out faith you can’t please God Hebrews 11:6. When it comes to prayer and salvation or any thing that concerns God you must have faith. God gives all men a measure of faith according to Romans 12:3. Also faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God Romans 10:17. You cannot work your way to heaven and you can’t get prayers answered by trying to be good. Many say God love’s you and that’s why you will get to heaven. That is a lie from hell and if you believe that you will never see heaven. God loves us yes, but he gave us Jesus to show us his love so those who believe in Jesus and his death and resurrection will see heaven because of the sacrifice of Christ. Faith is the key to all things with God. The bible says the just shall live by faith Hebrews 10, and those who draw back will draw back to ruin and destruction. So if you what to please God you must believe. In John 20 when Jesus appeared to the disciples Thomas wasn’t there. He told the disciples that he would not believe until he saw Jesus. When Jesus appeared later and Thomas was there. Jesus said Thomas put your hand in my fingers and in my side. When Thomas did he said my Lord and my God I believe. Jesus immediately said to him, blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe. So let us learn to walk by faith and not by sight , it will bring rich rewards and blessing into our lives.
