Faith

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible." Hebrews 11:1-3 NIV

Faith is the foundation of the Christian believer. Everything that we have and hope for is based on our faith that God made the world from nothing, that Jesus came to save us, and that the Holy Spirit lives inside of us. We cannot prove any of these things through our conscious minds or meager understanding of creation through science. If you try to explain God's existence through human understanding, you will fail every time. God may allow you to see glimpses of His fantastic existence, but those fleeting glimpses will surely disturb your mind and lead to greater questions if you do not have the ultimate belief: FAITH. I don't know about you, but I personally would not want a god who could not command or create anything he chooses and who was confined to human understanding and worldly restraints. My God is bigger than life and the mind which He gave me to reason my way through this short life. When we begin to allow God to reveal Himself to us through His Word and the world He created, our understanding far surpasses any scientific support that can be found by humanity. Our minds are filled with wonder and our hearts with praise. We have the "peace of God, which surpasses all understanding" (Phil 4:7). So do not focus your mind on things of this world but allow God to reveal Himself to you fully when you have faith.
