WHAT IS REAL? The REAL person- one who lives a substantive life- is the Christian described in Galatians 5:22, whose life bears the fruit of the Holy Spirit; and notably one of the marks of this life is faith. But understand this “faith” is not the wishful thinking of the world. This REAL FAITH is BIBLE FAITH! It is simple confidence in the power of God through the name of Jesus Christ our Savior and Shepherd!
It is THIS Faith which causes one to look up when everyone else has given up. This Faith causes one to hope when things are hopeless. This Faith causes one who has nothing to ask His Father for all things. This Faith causes one to say with Job, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.”
This Faith will cause members of our church not only to pray fervently of our Father to provide for our church and families, let alone for the salvation of lost souls; but this Faith will expect the help that we need: For if God be for us, who shall be against us?
