Faith as shown in Caleb and Joshua, 10/27/2002
- Our faith is like a mustard seed that can grow. Each time we come to a deeper appreciation of God and His ways, our faith is deepened. His creation speaks of Him. His Word speaks of Him. Our personal encounter with Him speaks even more of Him: His love, His kindness, His righteousness, His mercy, His power, … The more we witness His deeds and appreciate them, the more we know and understand His ways, the more our faith grows.
- Abraham believed, therefore he left Chaldea when called. Moses believed, therefore he forsook the riches of Egypt and identified himself with God’s children, liberating them from the slavery of Pharoah. Joshua believed, therefore when God commanded them to march around the city of Jericho, they obeyed. And consequently, the city fell.
- True faith is always manifested through obedience. It is vain to say we believe but yet not obey His commands. Unbelief and disobedience go hand in hand; whereas faith should always bring forth obedience.
