Faith

I talk about faith a lot.  Most, if not all of my posts include faith.  That is because faith is the cornerstone of being christian.  We must believe that Jesus died on the cross for our salvation.  Believing is having faith that God’s promise is so.  Faith that our salvation through Jesus leads us directly to God the Father.  Knowing that as God’s children we are loved unconditionally. 

God wants us closer to Him.  He wants us to experience the joy in living a righteous Godly life, which makes us the most fulfilled we can be on earth and leads us to Him for everlasting life in heaven.  This is why I named my website faith2joy.  Of course with God’s help. 

Faith is probably the hardest concept to grasp. It is the unseen, the unknowing.  To often we interject our will and understanding on our lives.  This is where we get into trouble.  Do we think we know more than God?  Faith is a belief that we are not in control and that God controls all we do, if we let him.  That whatever happens in our lives, God has a plan and that plan is for good as long as we obey Him. 

We don’t know the future.  We don’t know what will happen in our lives each day.  Some days are better than others.  Some people struggle for long periods of time.  Remaining faithful during these struggles is hard but it is when we are tested.  No matter what happens remain strong, continue to pray, continue to live a righteous life, continue to be kind, peaceful, humble, loving and forgiving.  This will help you in your faith because ultimately we know God will fulfill His promise that through Jesus, we will be with Him in heaven for eternity. 

Have a Blessed day!
