"Who Needs Faith In God Anymore?
l ' -- 1 m 1 ' . m. - .
All persons, although created by God, do not have
true faith in our Creator. We are bodies made of flesh
externally, but our spiritual internal make-up is likened
unto the image of the all-wise God of heaven and earth.
We, the children of God, could do wonders while here if
our faith on matters were real. Real faith is the absolute
substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things
not seen because of the invisible God. Without the
Creator, nothing which men might hope for can become
a reality no matter how much knowledge is acquired
among aggressive persons on this earth. It is God who
has a permissive will of mercy wherein sinners and saints
receive help through many trials and errors. It is tfuth
wherein men are less prone to errors upon their believ
ing in God and acquiring a true faith which comes only
from the Supreme Being which is God. Through our
belief in the all-wise God, the image of God within us
becomes activated, thus reducing our chances for er
rors. Persons who possess real faith cannot afford to be
led tiy power and might alone but by the spirit as their
leader, teacher and dictator. Faith in God on our part is
a guarantee that our needs will be met in spite of life's
x difficulties.
Many times through our self-proclaimed efforts
toward achievements, we have tendencies to observe
some of our weaknesses. Even Christians lose much real
faith, therefore, they experience degrees of painful sor
' rows. Often, sorrows invade our, lives because of the
absence of joy. Sorrow and joy cannot occupy the same
space within Christians at the very same instance. Not
all sorrows are intended to put Christians out of action
"But rather to encourage us toward seeking a better
tomorrow. In sorrows, Christians are not alone with
regard to the presence of God. Sometimes, our tears
which become visible are indications that our hearts are
s made better for future action. In other words, the inter
nal parts of us are being renewed constantly.' Christians
who are often placed in positions to endure sorrows may
be looked upon as being crucified in the flesh, but the
glories of God are through those suffering mean salva
tion to others.
Faith in God is a necessity, lest we faint along the
way, as a true substance of trust and constructive hope.'
If .we place enough faith in Him, He becomes our
lifeguard over and in deep waters; the true light for our
lives when darkness seems to veil His lovely face and the
pillow of support when otherwise we would surely fall.
He who hath eas let him hear.
