the substance of faith
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
I just read through Hebrews and was most absolutely taken by chapters 11-13. The faith strengthening power of "hearing" such passages was incredible. I was reminded of a conversation I had with Eric Huber as he explained how faith isn't blind. It's not; faith has both substance and evidence. If your faith is waning, start looking through the evidence for the Bible. Read through Hebrews 11 and study some apologetics if you need solid evidence of the validity of the Word. Most of all pray and let your eyes be opened, the Bible is filled with evidence of the unseen GOD!
The things that we hope for: our true home and the praising the unhindered glory of God... the substance of this hope is our faith. It's real, and although the devil does everything he can to make it seem distant, if not completely dark and blind, the evidence of God's work is everywhere, even in this fallen world. Share this substance, let the Message be heard that faith may abound! Ah fair stranger, heaven is our home, alas there will be no more faith and no more hope, only love brother and sister! Until then let it be heard, share the substance.
