“Now faith is
the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”
(Hebrews 11:1).
The
Scripture above is the best definition of faith you can get. Faith is the
substance of your hope; it’s the tangible expression of your hope.
The Bible
tells us of Abraham, who ’’being not weak in faith, considered not his own body
now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of
Sara’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was
strong in faith, giving glory to God’’ (Romans 4:19-20). Abraham tangibly
expressed his hope by giving praise to God; he didn’t allow his physical
condition to discourage him. If there’s no substance or tangible expression to
your hope, then there is no faith.
Faith is the
evidence–the title deed–of things not seen. A title deed is a legal document
proving your right to a property; it maybe a piece of land or a house. This
document authenticates your claim to the property. In the same way, the Word of
God is enough to prove that you have what God has given to you. It doesn’t
matter if others don’t believe you because they can’t see it; you already have
the evidence and that’s what matters. Praise God!
