Faith Pleases God

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1:1

From the very first line of the Bible, God requires us to have faith. He doesn’t go into elaborate detail about who He is or how He created everything. God doesn’t lay out His case as a logical legal brief. He just states plainly, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

Once you read these words you are compelled to either walk in faith and believe the Word of God or choose to dismiss it.

It’s clear that it takes faith to believe the Bible, because there are many unanswered questions. God wastes no time trying to talk us into believing His Word. The ability to believe God’s Word is a gift of faith from Him (Ephesians 2:8).

If you find yourself questioning the reality of God’s Word, then you need faith. How can you get faith? “Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17).

Read the Word of God, listen to the Word of God, repeat aloud the Word of God, meditate on the Word of God and sing God’s Word. This will allow faith to come-for without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6).

  1. naturally like your web site but you need to test the spelling on several of
    your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems
    and I to find it very troublesome to inform the truth then again I’ll surely come back again.

  2. I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter
    a blog that’s both equally educative and entertaining, and without a
    doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is
    an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
    Now i’m very happy that I stumbled across this in my hunt for something concerning this.

  7. I love your statement that: “From the very first line of the Bible, God requires us to have faith.” God Is. He expects us to recognize Him.

    Also, I do appreciate the link to God’s Word, Fresh Every Time (christsreflections.wordpress.com). If you’re interested, I did a post on October 18, 2011 called, “1) Water and Spirit and Creation” comparing John 1 and Genesis 1.

    Faith comes down to a choice. Very thoughtful post.
