Faith

Without faith, it is impossible to please God. This verse is so commonly used by believers all over the world. What does faith mean? Is it a mental state? Or an emotion? Or is faith something else? We can use a word without a proper understanding of it. Hence it is essential to take a look in the hall of faith in Hebrew 11. We see in Hebrew 11 that faith is more than agreeing with or mere mental agreement. We also learn that faith is more than accepting the facts written or spoken. The fathers of faith acted upon what they believe. Their faith was knitted to a verb - to act upon. Abel offered a better sacrifice,  Noah built the ark, Abraham left town, Rahab released the spies. ..etc It is amazing from Abraham to Joseph they did not inherit the promised land. Yet in their lifetime they speak of God giving them a land of their own. May our choices reflect our faith in the Almighty God.
