I Still Believe (The Great Design)

 


"I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief!"  Mark 9:24

The above proclamation of the demon-possessed boy from the Gospel of Mark is something I have incorporated into my prayers quite often.

The attitude of trust and complete confidence that the Bible calls belief or trust is not something that we can obtain without help.  Faith is a gift given to us from God.  No matter how much faith we have, we can never reach a point of self-dependence apart from God-even when things seem to be going our way.

Faith is not something that we can hoard and store away like money in a bank, either.  The process of going our faith is a constant process, one that needs to be renewed daily by renewing our trust in Jesus.

We must stay on our knees, in prayer with God each and every day, during both good times and bad ones.  Not only will we have stronger spiritual lives, but we can do great things in the name of our loving Father!

How To Save A Life

Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.  Acts 16:31


Faith is much more than simply believing; it is also entrusting your very life to what you believe. 

Take for example, our children.  They trust that the food that we prepare for them is safe to eat.  They trust that we have let the food that is oven-hot, cool down before serving it to them, as well.   They trust us to provide them with all needs-clothing, shelter, heating/air, television, etc. 

Our faith in God works much the same.  It means we are willing to trust him with all of our lives, not just select parts.  When we are willing to faithfully follow him, we are willing to adhere to his guidelines for living, found in the Bible, because we have a conviction that his will for our lives is the best.  

We must also be willing to endure some ridicule and even persecution for our faith, but God is who he says he is and he promises us all eternal life in heaven.
