Confident Faith

Isaiah 19-21; Hebrews 11 

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for…By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.”

Hebrews 11:1, 2, 7

Those who live with faith are confident about things they can’t see and things that are yet to happen, because they have heard from God’s Word. They live into the reality of these unseen and coming events and realities because they know the Lord God. They fear God more than the ridicule of the watching world.

Does this kind of faith describe us?

Hope without faith-filled confidence is not hope; rather, it is just wishful thinking. 

As God warns us about the consequences of sin in our lives and in our world, are we responding in holy fear and with faith-filled obedience?

Are we living distinctively different, hope-filled, faith-filled lives as heirs of righteousness?

God celebrates the people who do, and he will reward them.

“Lord Jesus, strengthen my faith so I can possess my inheritance with confidence and boldness, for your glory.”
