"Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see." Hebrews 11:1 (NLT)
"The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It's our handle on what we can't see" Hebrews 11:1 (Message)
Now faith is not freaking out and getting angry at God when you've followed him step by step for five years and then it seems like he has totally forgotten that you just graduated with a degree in ministry, but having the confidence that some day God will give me a full-time job that I love, and fully believing the guarantee that he has a plan for my life. Hebrews 11:1 (Crystal's life version)
So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law. Romans 3:28
Getting back to the basics, Christianity IS faith, I've been severely lacking in that area. This faith revival is bringing back excitement and hope into my life. As the Message puts it faith is "the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living." God's lifting me up, he's so good.
