BELIEVE!
by Dag Heward-Mills
READ: Mark 11:12-24
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him
Hebrews 10:38
It is important to use faith every time you pray.
...What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Mark 11:24
Jesus taught great lessons on faith throughout His ministry. He often emphasized that people were being blessed because they were using faith.
God is saying that if you draw away from faith, He will not be pleased with you. There are those who tend to draw away from the faith message and faith people. They feel that there must rather be an emphasis on patience, gentleness, holiness and on the other qualities of the fruit of the Spirit. I strongly believe that these qualities are important and play a special role in the Christian life.
However, the importance of the fruit of the Spirit to the Christian experience should not make us play down on the importance of something like faith. The fact that the heart is important does not make the kidneys any less important. Both are necessary , and have special, unique roles to play in the proper functioning of the human body.
Faith is a very special virtue which has a role in every Christian's life. It is interesting to note that Hebrews 11:6 does not say: "Without love it is impossible to please God." The Bible does not say: "Without peace it is impossible to please God." The Bible is very clear on this fact: Without faith it is impossible to please God!
