What Is Faith? 4

“For we which have believed do enter into rest …” Hebrews 4:3.

Faith is confident rest in the faithfulness of God. When you are in faith, you are at rest.

Hebrews 11:11 says, “Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.”  Do you have faith in the faithfulness of God?

1 Thessalonians 5:24 says, “Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.”  The Message Bible says, “The One who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he'll do it!”

Now that you know God's character, do not doubt His Word any longer. God is completely dependable. If He said it, be rest assured He will do it.

2 Timothy 2:13 (NLT) says, “If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is.” Your faith and confidence should be built on the knowledge of the character of God. Titus 1:2 shows us that God cannot lie.

God wants you to rest in your faith in Him concerning the fulfillment of His Word to the point that He took an oath. See how the Bible puts it in Hebrews 6:16-18 (NLT), “Now when people take an oath, they call on someone greater than themselves to hold them to it. And without any question that oath is binding. God also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind. So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.”

Prayer.
Dear Father, I thank You for Your faithfulness and I ask that You manifest Your power and glory through my life wherever I go, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
