Foundations 1 - Faith

Letting go because you believe the tools will help you accomplish your task. The moment of letting go, leaving the plane, diving in, believing in things you can't see necessarily to work right and do there job. That in a nut shell is faith. I believe. Faith in Jesus is the foundation of being a christian. What is faith? Read Hebrew chpt 11, I like the NIV version of faith in Hebrews 11:1.. What does this passage tell you faith is?

Ok, what is it that I have faith in, what do I believe? Over the next few days we'll work on building a foundation of faith in Jesus Christ. Be sure to follow through with the action points at the end so you can be geared up for your day!

To start with we believe the bible is totally true, it's the inspired word of God, the words written in the bible were written by man but given to them by God himself. Think about this, over hundreds of years of time written by numerous writers, from different walks of life yet it all proves itself, stories match up, beliefs held and prophecies fulfilled without always knowing there were prophecies. The bible backs itself up, still to this day, much of our history is taken from the words in the bible and considered factual by the greatest of historians.
Do you believe the bible is true? This is fundamental in being a christian, our beliefs are founded in the bible.

Take a minute and write out what your faith looks like now, and what you would like it to be.
Hebrews 11:1 is foundational in our lives of faith, great passage to memorize.

Tomorrow we'll hit up Jesus's birth Foundations #2. Why did he need to come to earth and go through what he went through?

I'm praying today that God gives you the strength to deal with your current reality!

Wouldn't it be great if believing where enough? It isn't. Your fantasies about knowing God have nothing to do with Reality, another of God's names. One way to go beyond mere beliefs about God is through The Way of Christ, which is the Way of Truth. Truth begins with telling the truth in every way, at all costs to your beloved dreams about yourself, including the one that says you are spiritual teacher. You are not a spiritual teacher. God is.
