What Are You Hoping For?

Faith always has been the distinguishing attribute of God’s servants, from the beginning of the world. Where the principle of faith is planted by the regenerating Spirit of God, it will cause the truth to be received.

And the same things that are the object of our hope, are the object of our faith. It is a firm persuasion and expectation, that God will perform all he has promised to us in Christ. This persuasion allows the soul to enjoy those things now; it gives them a subsistence or reality in the soul, by the first-fruits and foretastes of them.

Faith proves to the mind, the reality of things that cannot be seen by the bodily eye. It is a full approval of all God has revealed, as holy, just, and good. This view of faith is explained by many examples of persons in former times, who obtained a good report, or an honorable character as revealed in Scripture.

Faith was the principle of their holy obedience, remarkable services, and patient sufferings. Scripture give the true and exact account of the origin of all things, and we are to believe it, and not to wrest and twist the Scripture account of the creation, simply because it does not suit with the differing imaginations and inclinations of humankind. All that we see of the works of creation, were brought into being by the command of God.

What is faith?

Scripture tells us, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

But are living by faith in your activities of daily living?
