Living a Life of Faith

True faith transcends intellectual assent – it's active trust that shapes daily decisions. As Hebrews 11:1 describes, faith gives substance to our hopes and conviction to our spiritual sight. This means trusting God's character even when circumstances appear bleak. Consider Abraham leaving Ur, David facing Goliath, or Peter stepping onto stormy waters. Each demonstrates faith as a verb. In modern life, this might manifest as choosing forgiveness over bitterness, generosity over greed, or integrity over compromise. Faith grows through testing, like muscles strengthened by resistance. It requires daily nourishment through Scripture and community. While doubts may arise, as they did even for John the Baptist (Matthew 11:3), faith perseveres by clinging to Christ's faithfulness rather than our fleeting feelings.
