Faith is our reality

1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1

Yes, I know. I’ve written on this verse before. I can’t help it. It’s my favorite and beyond that, it is so powerful.

Faith is the cornerstone of Christianity. Today I listened to a clip online of a comedian mocking Christianity, claiming that it is mythology that has created a “beast with horns and a tail that represents a bad guy, but if you pray to the sky it will be alright.”

Faith ain’t easy, folks. I’m sure each and every one of us has doubted. I mean, how can a loving God allow things to happen like hurricanes and tsunamis? How can Adolph Hitler be a creation of a loving God? How can the Creator of All explain cancer?

So many questions, questions for which I have no answer. Oh, I’ve listened to preachers and theologians try to explain it all, but I have yet to hear one that gives an explanation that puts me at ease, that makes me go “Oh, I see. Now I get it!”

We base all on faith. The belief that there is a God, He sent His son to redeem us. We can’t explain it to others, it is a faith based on something indescribable, something inside of us.

Faith is a gift from God, something that we must guard with all we have within us. It is a fragile thing, that can be damaged by unbelief and worldy temptations.

But, oh the day when faith becomes sight!

About Life as a Christian Woman

Life as a Christian Woman explores Biblical truths as they apply to modern faith and the vital roles we can play in the body of Christ. Some topics are easy, such as Christ died for our sins. Others, like divorce, single parenthood, work, and submission to our spouses are more challenging. Then there are days we just need a good laugh with God. Together, we can learn practical faith in an impractical world.
