• Hello children.• Romans 10:17 says,

Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

• Hebrews 11:1 says, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith

• What is faith? • We cannot see it or feel

it. • It has no shape or smell. • We cannot ask the

storekeeper for a pound and a half of faith.

• What is faith anyhow?

Faith

• Faith is believing God. Faith is trusting Him.

• Faith is taking God at His Word.

• Faith is believing what God says He will do.

• Faith needs facts or it is no good at all.

• We can put our faith in the wrong thing and we find ourselves let down or disappointed.

Faith

• Suppose I really believe that 2 + 3 = 6.

• Suppose, believing it, I put that answer down on the test.

• Will the teacher mark my answer correct?

• No, because my facts are wrong.

• Just believing something does not make it true.

Faith

• A nurse one day was preparing a formula for a newborn baby.

• Accidentally she used salt instead of sugar, because she believed she was using sugar.

• The baby got sick. • The nurses facts were wrong. • Her faith was only as good as

the facts.

Faith

• What are you trusting to get you into heaven?

• Are you sure it will get you there?

• Believing is not good enough.

• It matters what you believe or in this case Whom you believe, Whom you trust.

Faith

• The Bible says of the Lord Jesus Christ that He is like a solid rock or foundation stone.

• He is tried and proven. The Bible says that the one who believes in Him will never be disappointed or put to shame.

Faith

• If you were drowning, would you allow the lifeguard to rescue you?

• Would you then allow the Lord Jesus Christ Who died in payment for your sins and arose again to save your soul from sin?

Faith

• Acts 4:12 says, Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

• Believe on (put your complete faith and trust in) the Lord Jesus Christ (and Him alone), and thou shalt be saved (Acts 16:31).

Faith

• Prayer• We pray that our faith in Jesus Christ as lord

and savior continues to grow in our hearts. • Amen
