Inspirational Verses About Faith

Hebrews ch.11 v.6 puts it best: "Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him." - this is faith's starting point. If you don't believe that He exists, and that he has something in store for those who earnestly desire to develop a relationship with Him, then this is going to be alien territory for you, unless you enjoy an exercise in futility. But to those who are prepared to take a risk - not merely on the question of God's existence, but also on the nature of His character - by calling out to the One who called to them first; there is a universe of a deeper reality waiting for them to explore.

We are given a definition of faith in Hebrews ch.11 v.1: "Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen." - true faith provides its own evidence beyond the bounds of our material universe. It is a reality more genuine than the shadowy, deceptive realms of an unredeemed imagination. It satisfies us when we see no other evidence to support our conviction. But we know. We have a promise burned into our consciousness that will not let us go. We have seen with eyes that perceive more than the limitations of flesh and blood - and we cannot help but confirm what we have seen through our speech and our actions. For us to do otherwise would be to betray what we have already experienced as reality.
