Faith In God Great Or Small Can Move Mountains

(The passage comes from JOHN 5:24)


"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. (NIV)

Verily, verily I say unto you, he that heareth My Word and believeth in Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life. (21st Century KJV)



What is faith? Faith is the confident belief in the truth of or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing. It is also used for a , belief without proof. Informal usage of the word "faith" can be quite broad, and may be used standardly in place of, "trust" "belief", or "hope". For example, the word "faith" can refer to a religion itself or to religion in general. As with "trust", faith involves a concept of future events or outcomes. Interesting isn't it?


Faith is more than just believing it is entrusting your very life to what you believe. For example you may believe that someone can cross a deep gorge on a tightrope. But would you trust that person to carry you across? Another example is trusting the person in the foxhole with you has your back when it comes down to it. Will he/she be there when all heck breaks loose? If you truly had faith, you would say yes. And so faith in God means that you are willing to trust Him with your whole life. You are willing to follow His guidelines for living, as outlined in the Bible, because you have the conviction that His will is best for you. That is much faith in a living God we cannot see, but know He is there. Let me ask. Are you even willing to endure ridicule and persecution for your faith because you are sure that God is who He says He is and He will keep His promises about salvation and eternal life in heaven?


Song: Great Is Thy Faithfulness (by Thomas O Chisholm & William Runyan)

"Great is They faithfulness"; O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee;

Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not, As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.



"Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy Faithfulness!" Morning by morning new mercies I see;

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided, "Great is Thy faithfulness," Lord unto me!
