Faith Without The Works of God Is Dead

Don’t believe those who utter works are dead. God expects us to live out His Word in actions and deeds. In short – actions and deeds are works. This is a good article clarifying this truth.

Faith, Confidence & Assurance

Quote

FAITH

Faith in God gives us great confidence.

It provides a guarantee on which to hang our hopes.

Because of our faith, our hopes are solid and have substance, and reality.

Faith provides the foundation on which we hold fast to in times of trouble and uncertainty.

Faith orients us toward the future, giving us the courage to move forward.

Faith launches us into the unknown moves us forward.

Faith gives us the ability to live out the radical love that comes from having hope in God and not in the fleeting pleasures of sin.
