Bridges!
"So then faith comes by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God."
Romans 10: 17
Many people have a mistaken view of faith,
thinking that faith is believing something or
someone despite evidence and we have to
take a “leap of faith.” That is nonsense.
It doesn’t work in any area of life. You don’t step on a
rickety swinging bridge with rotten ropes and missing
planks, just assuming the bridge will support you. To
place faith in the bridge, it must be anchored on both
sides, sturdy, reliable, and
trustworthy.
Faith is believing because of evidence.
It’s not a leap into uncertainty but a
step
that is reasonable, logical, and sensible.
If the object of your faith isn’t worthy of your faith, your
faith is inconsequential. When it comes to our eternal
destiny, it's not how much faith you have; it's how much
Jesus you know. The more you learn of
Him, the more
you’ll see the reasonableness of your faith in Him.
Taking time to read God’s Word daily will help you
learn more and grow in your faith. “Faith comes
by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
"You do not need a great faith,
but faith in a great God."
Hudson Taylor
