The Seeds of Faith

7. The seed of Faith

But without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a re-warder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

When we talk about faith—and belief---we have to refer to the greatest book ever written, and the greatest Teacher of the Ages on the subject. He summed it up when He said: “Go your way; and as you have believed, so be it done unto you.” Matthew 8:13

This simple statement cuts both ways, like a two edged sword. Faith is the key to unlock the door to success for every human being. Or it is the lock that imprisons and keeps that person from ever experiencing success.

Faith is both a negative force and a positive force. Faith in the negative is fear. Faith is belief.

When someone says to me, “you can’t do that!” I have a choice to make; I can believe that or I can choose to disregard it. As a Christian I choose to believe what God’s Word says about me. In Philippians 4:13, it says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” If I choose to believe that I can’t do something; guess what, I can’t. The seed of Faith
