Real Faith: What It Is—What It’s Not

BIBLE MEDITATION:

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 5:1

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

It’s faith that enables us to live the Christian life. In order to know what faith is, let me tell you what faith is not. 

* Faith is not a hunch. 

* Faith is not positive thinking. 

* Faith is not responding to emotions, feelings, or icicles up and down your spine or miracles, signs and wonders. 

* Faith is not believing that God can do something. 

Faith is knowing that God will. Faith is taking God at His word. Real faith dies to doubt. It is deaf to discouragement. It is blind to impossibilities. Now this is the kind of faith we need. 

ACTION POINT:

What kind of faith do you have? Do you have the faith that is small as a mustard seed, but can move a mountain? Ask God for it today.
