What is True Faith?

"Faith" simply means trust. The Christian Bible says in Hebrews 11:1, "It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead."

All religions profess faith in God. But not all types of faiths are pleasing to Him.

FAITH SHOULD HAVE A TRUSTWORTHY OBJECT.

We don't place our faith in ourselves either. To anchor a boat, you don't take the anchor and place it in the boat itself just because you believe in the anchor.

WE SHOULD FIX OUR FAITH ON AN UNCHANGING, EVERLASTING AND TRUSTWORTHY GOD, and HIS PROMISES.

When it comes to life after death, we cannot place our faith on just any man's word. As a man is mortal even though he could make all sorts of promises, he will not be able to fulfill them once he dies, whereas God is infinite and immortal who knows all things past, present and future. Hence, we can trust such a God to keep all His promises

True, some of them were unfaithful; but just because they were unfaithful, does that mean God will be unfaithful? Of course not! Even if everyone else is a liar, God is true. As the Scriptures say about him, "You will be proved right in what you say, and you will win your case in court" (Romans 3:3-4).

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My word remains forever", says Jesus (Matthew 24:35).

The purpose of faith is to know our Creator God, to have peace with Him, and to be with Him when we die. However, if the god whom we worship never promises to meet these specific needs we so eagerly desire, at the end of the day we will be awfully disappointed.

Faith can be distinguished between BLIND FAITH vs TRUE FAITH
