Faith

2 Cor 5:7 For we walk by faith not by sight. Faith has a two fold sense in the Bible. On one hand it means "trust" , "reliance", and on the other hand it means "fidelity", "trustworthiness". In the Old Testement in means to "believe" and in the New Testement it is the basis for all doctrine. In all Christ did in His miracles, make no mistake it was to create a true trust in Him. Jesus is the only object of faith and made it plain, He alone was the only way by having faith in Him to get to Heaven. Refusal to believe in who He is and What He has done is to reject Christianity completely. As a matter of fact Christians first called themselves "believers". I like that. I think we should go back to being believers that are Christians. after all these signs shall follow them that believe. So if we are not seeing the signs... Then we don't believe. Paul said without faith it is impossible to please God. If we don't have complete trust in God and rely on Him totally, then God is not please with us. It also says anything we do outside of Faith is Sin. So when we are not living by faith, but rather we are living by; fear, intellect, reason, passion, or anything other than faith is sin. Sin meaning we miss the mark and don't please God.
