Faith Pleases God
“When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.” (Hebrews 11:6)
Faith Comes by Hearing
“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” (Romans 10:17) Faith Can Move Mountains Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” (Matthew 21:21-22)
Faith of our Ancestors
I’d encourage you to read all of Hebrews 11, which demonstrates the Faith of our Ancestors, but it begins like this “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.” (Hebrews 11:1).
Faith is How We Live
“For we live by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7)
Faith Saved Us
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Faith Impresses Jesus “When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.” (Matthew 8:10) Faith Like a Mustard Seed He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20) Scriptures taken from the Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV®.
