Gotta have faith.

The Bible does not teach that faith requires ignoring facts or living in denial of reality. Instead, it describes faith as a confident trust in God's promises—treating the unseen questions as a reality that is just as certain, or more certain, than what we can physically see.

There is nowhere in the Bible where faith required people to pretend something wasn’t happening. Faith is not denial. Faith is not acting like pain is not pain. Faith is not ignoring facts.

You see, we’re all human, and human reasoning restricts what faith can see. We tend to let reality sink in and override what God has already told us. Faith acknowledges the situation but anchors itself in God’s ability.

I can’t imagine a world in which God wasn’t the center of my life. I rely on Him; I trust Him with my life and I believe in His promises.

Don’t you want that also? Wouldn’t you rather go through life with God than struggling daily with whatever the world throws at you?

Think about this: If your declaration is not rooted in God’s Word, it is just words. You can say “I am rich” a thousand times, but if God has not promised that in the way you are declaring it, that is not faith, that is self-talk.

You gotta have faith in our Creator. After all, God not only created the world, but He created you and me. Faith believes that the One who created reality has power over it.

Faith is important because it is the only pathway to finding and receiving God’s greatest gift, his grace in the person of his Son, Jesus.

Hebrews 11:1 - “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
