Faith

Faith. When people talk about faith I often ask them to define the word. This is always interesting but not always successful. Faith is more than just committing ourselfs to what we believe are Christian principles. Faith is more than a psychological explanation to many of the issues we face in life. Faith is much more!

Faith is not just abstract ideas about God, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit. Faith is much more!

Faith is what connects us to the beauty and wonder of Jesus Christ. It is our dependence, not upon what we see in ourselves, but upon what we know about our Lord. Through his redemptive work, his grace, and his mercy, we are saved.

As we struggle through the challenges of this life we must hold onto our faith. We must also stay focused on Jesus Christ if our faith is to be sustained, or as Dietrich Bonhoeffer once wrote, "Faith means being held captive by the sight of Jesus Christ."

So let us not lose sight and remain committed to our faith in Jesus Christ.
