The Only Way to Live

The Bible teaches that faith is the only way to live, and it is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith is not blind superstition, nor is it positive thinking or feeling of optimism, but rather it is a confidence that rests in hope, a conviction that sees the invisible, and a communication that comes from heaven. Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, and we can treat the future as present and the invisible as seen. Faith is the dynamic of spiritual wisdom, spiritual worship, and spiritual wealth, and it is the heart's response to the character of God. Faith helps us to find the goal of life, which is to follow and finish the will of God. [... more]
