Faith brings us the blessings of God.

If you want to please God: “without faith it is impossible to please him” (Hebrews 11:6)

If you want to experience God’s saving grace: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ⁹ Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9)

If you want to receive God’s salvation: “Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.” (1 Peter 1:9)

If you want the life to come to be real and relevant now: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1)

If you want to triumph over this unregenerate, satanically controlled, humanistic, world system: “For whosoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even (that is) our faith.” (1 John 5:4)

All the other graces of God depend upon what faith to actualize them. Thomas Watson. The Puritan author wrote; “Love is the crowning grace in heaven, but faith is the conquering grace on earth”

• Faith is a gift that is sovereignly dispensed when we hear God’s truth.
• Faith is the channel by which impotent humanity is enabled to lay hold of the omnipotent God, or, more accurately, by which an omnipotent God lays hold of impotent humanity.
• Faith is taking God at His word – faith is not responding to external sign or miracles.
• Faith is not believing that God “can,” but believing that “He does and will.”
• Faith is deaf to doubt, dumb to discouragement, blind to impossibilities, and knows nothing but success… in God.
• Faith means being prepared to trust Him where we are not permitted to see.
• Faith is a plant that can grow in the shade, a grace that can find the way to heaven in the dark of night.
• Faith allows Christ to do for us and with us what we could never do alone.
• Faith is belief in action.

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: ¹⁰ For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. ¹² Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. ¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.” (Heb. 11:6-13)
