Faith

What is faith, how do we describe faith, how much faith do we have? We show faith in hundreds of things everyday, but how much faith do we show in God? How many times do we use our brakes on our cars in a days time and yet every time we hit them most of us don't even think about if they are going to work or not, we just have faith that there going to be there when we need them like so many other things in our lives, but yet when it comes to Christianity, God, Jesus and the cross we tend to lack in the faith. Has God ever failed you, some may feel that way, I know I have at times, and now have come to realize the areas I thought God had failed me he had actually protected me, saved me from my own destruction, or had just simply made me wait because I wasn't spiritually ready, failed me God has never! Scientist tell us the earth is millions of years old and that the earth was created by 2 molecules colliding, but they have yet to prove it, they can't recreate it no matter how many millions of dollars they spend on it, the bible tells us exactly how the earth was created, how we were created in God's image so beautiful, and glorious. But yet some believe that it requires more faith to believe than a theory that can't be proven, they say the bible is just parables and that anyone could have written it, but the events in the bible can be proven, after all it is the written word of God! Christianity does not require much faith just a little, the devil has tried to complicate things by "Religion" mans rules and beliefs, but all that is required to be a Christian to be saved is the belief that God sent his only son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins and that he was raised from the dead so that we shall be forgiven and have eternal life, its quite simple! just a little faith that's all. We put more faith in everyday things that we don't even give a second thought to but yet when it comes time to put a little faith in God we are like woo hold on a minute, that's not for me, that's to dangerous, or that's out of my comfort zone, or that's not what I had in mind. Matthew 17:20 (NIV)
[20] He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Just take a moment to pray and think about that verse what a powerful verse!
