Faith Is An Action

Hebrews 11:1-3 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

James 2:14-17 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

Faith is not just a statement it is an action…

By FAITH Abel offered a sacrifice

By FAITH Enoch pleased God

By FAITH Noah built an ark

By FAITH Abraham obeyed

By FAITH Sarah conceived

By FAITH Jacob blessed

By FAITH Moses was hidden by his parents

By FAITH Moses refused to be called the son of Pharoah’s daughter

So many people become confused and discouraged by a lack of results. We have access to everything so fast. We aren’t willing to wait for anything. Faith for us has become a wand that we wave at the drama in our life. In Genesis 12 God makes a promise to Abraham; Genesis 15 the promise still has not been fulfilled and Abraham has become like us. God you said you were going to do something great, but I don’t even have a kid yet? 75 when the promise was made; Abraham was 100 before he had the son that was promised. Faith must become an action or a lack of results will frustrate us until we give up. Don’t give up, believe God no matter what happens!
