Don't worry about tomorrow ;
it will have enough worries of its own
( Matthew 6 : 34 )

 

 

 

FAITH ( significations ) :

Faith resumes relation between men & God.
Faith
is to trust in God for ever & ever.

Two significations of faith :

1- Faith is « to trust in Christ Jesus, to believe in Him ». This is the Faith which saves. God gives his divine grace to those who receive his promises and his gift : his Son, the Christ Jesus our Saviour. We are morally acceptable in front of God because of this Faith.

2- Faith is too « to trust in the word of God », to trust in It in our ordinary and daily life. This Faith produces actions ( The Good Seed 2012 ).

 

 

 

To have Faith

is to be sure of the things we hope for,
to be certain of the things we cannot see
( Hebrews 11 : 1 )

 

 

Faith is to believe that those who has created the universe wanted our existence.
That we interested Him and He wants to give signification to our life.
Faith is to admit man limit and to accept God's authority
( F. Bailet )

 

 

No one can please God without Faith, for whoever comes to God
must have Faith that God exists and rewards those who seek Him
( Hebrews 11 : 6 )

 

 

Those who follows sincerely faith way can do miracles
( Paulo Coelho )

 

 

 

By faith believer sees higher than events & troubles

( The Good Seed 2005 )

The Christian FAITH

Bible is « the word of God », the word of the living God who is Love and Light. This divine word is amazing : its history, its unity, its prophecy, its authority such as its authority over the people who read it and hear it and trust in it.

Faith tells us that holy is the Lord Almighty, that God is the high judge, that God is generous and full of love, so He gives his divine grace to those who need it deeply. Faith is to know God through his Son the Christ Jesus. Faith is to believe and to trust in a God who speak, in a God who hear us and in a God who reply us.

Faith is a living relationship between us and this God who becomes our Father ; a living relationship between us and his Son Jesus our Saviour and Lord ( The Good Seed 2012 )

Let's always talk about FAITH

Faith is simple,

But we have complicated it. Faith is just to trust, but we continue to discuss, we continue to judge God's words & God's acts. Christian's life begins & ends by Faith. We must keep up this life. Faith is large, but in general, it consists of many details than of miracles. For example, those in the letter to the Hebrews, chapter 11 :

  • Faith talks ( Abel )
  • Faith walks ( Enoch )
  • Faith builds ( Noah )
  • Faith listens to God ( Abraham )
  • Faith sees the invisible ( Moses )
  • Faith fights ( Gideon ), etc.
  • Faith is more deep than human reason and human logic. Human reason and logic have their limits.
    ( The Good Seed - 2002 and 2012 )

    ... The righteous will live by his Faith
    ( Habakkuk 2 : 4b )

     

     

     

    Faith is like bird : it sings even if night is still dark

    ( Anonymous )

     

     

     

    Faith believe in God through difficulties
    & through impossibility too
    ( the Good Seed 2006 )

     

     

    Faith greatest triumphs go together
    with big bitter troubles
    ( Charles Spurgeon )

     

     

     

    Your faith becomes strong after troubles.

    With sufferances, we learn to know our
    weakness and we learn too God's fidelity
    ( John N. Darby )

     

     

     

    FAITH , conclusion

    We have not to doubt about God's power & about God's love. He orders and we must obey such as Elijah ( 1 Kings 17 : 4 ), we must obey God without thinking, because we know that He always wants our happiness. The most important is to be where He wants. For a believer, it's to search Jesus, to hear His Voice, and to live with Him the experience of His acts.
    ( The Good Seed 2005 )

    Let all the earth fear the Lord ... For He spoke, and it came to be ; He commanded, and it stood firm. The Lord foils the plans of the nations ; He thwarts the purpose of the people. But the plans of the Lord stand firm for ever, the purpose of His heart through all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance ! ( Psalm 33 : 8 - 12 )
