[ Faith in What We Don't See ] The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It's our handle on what we can't see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.
Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment.
I want you to put your foot down. Take a firm stand on these matters so that those who have put their trust in God will concentrate on the essentials that are good for everyone. Stay away from mindless, pointless quarreling over genealogies and fine print in the law code. That gets you nowhere.
In order that you may not grow disinterested and become [spiritual] sluggards, but imitators, behaving as do those who through faith (by their leaning of the entire personality on God in Christ in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness ) and by practice of patient endurance and waiting are [now] inheriting the promises.
I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until the day of his return.
So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!
Hebrews 11:1 1 Timothy 6:17 Titus 3:8 Hebrews 6:12 2 Timothy 1:12 Hebrews 10:35
For the Christian, testing cannot be separated from trusting.
