The Power of Faith
Hebrews 11:24-29

"Faith is trusting God to the extent that I think and act according to God's Word and reward."-Pastor Jay Pankratz

I need to memorize this statement. Faith can be so powerful in our lives if we just beleive this one simple statement. Faith can give us victory over so many things in our lives if we just trust that God will take care of it for us when we are faithful.

In our Bible study we were to read Hebrews 11:1, 6 and then give our definition of Godly faith. Well after reading them both, they are self explanatory. Godly faith is beleiving in God enough that we are certain that He exists. Godly faith is also knowing that without faith in Him it is impossible to please Him. And if we earnestly seek Him, he will reward us.

Now although we are guaranteed positive results from God when we seek him and have faith in him, this does not always mean that we will be rewarded with earthly things. Sometimes we are so caught up in this world that we cannot see beyond our present state to eternity. Our goal should be to gain positive results for eternity. God will reward our faith with a comfortable spot with Him in eternity. So although, the luxuries of this world are nice and we all want those things, we must make sure that our eyes are still on Jesus and that we remain faithful to gain eternal rewards and not earthly rewards.
