Faith
[edit]Faith is characterized as entire faith, confidence, dependence, or devotion, strong belief in something for which there may be no concrete evidence. Doubt is the antithesis of faith. Being deeply at peace with yourself is one of the main advantages of believing in God. A great deal of weight and worry is lifted off your shoulders when you trust in God, acknowledge His love for you, and trust that He has a purpose for your life. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."-John 14:27
Gives strength
[edit]You might feel like you are not alone and have inner power when you have faith. It is amazing how faith, a force greater than belief alone, can strengthen our souls and give us courage when faced with hardship. Let's examine how resilience may be derived from faith. Having faith in God might also give you courage when you're feeling weak. Your faith sustains you when you feel like you've given everything you have and have reached your breaking point. You can discover energy and abilities that are above your normal capabilities when you have faith in God's power operating through you. Even in your weakness, you are powerful because Christ gives you strength. You can persevere through adversity when you rely on the Lord's strength rather than your own. God could even use your difficulties and constraints to make Himself more clearly visible. In 2 Corinthians 12:9 it says, "And he said unto me, my grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." This verse sticks out me the most because during my weakness God grants me strength to overcome that battle. Sometimes Lifes gets hard and can be overwhelming and out of our control, that when God steps in and show his might power upon us. Not allowing doubt to convince us that, even in the face of what seems like we're breaking point, faith can uplift and support us. Our shortcomings and obstacles can be used by God to deepen your faith in Him. Let God use our weakness as a chance to work powerful miracles. He provides us with courage for the now and hope for the future!
Teaches to give
[edit]Serving the underprivileged and giving back are lessons from faith that may improve your life. Inner power may be obtained with faith. You feel as though you are not alone when you have faith. Faith instructs you to help the less fortunate and give back. Your life will improve in a favorable way if you help others in any way. Having faith enables you to prioritize others and be selfless. Remember to treat others the way you want to be treated. Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Everyone has a purpose in life, and everyone deserves a good life. However, even though it's hard to give everyone what you own, helping a few in need of people won't hurt. Having hope in life can make our life overflows and benefit others. You are blessed with a group of people who support you as you nurture your faith. You are surrounded by people who love for and encourage you when you are a member of a faith-based group. You have friends to celebrate happy occasions with and solace to lean on when things go tough.
Provide a foundation of support
[edit]In trying times, faith may offer a solid base of support, a wellspring of consolation and hope, as well as a haven of seclusion and safety. Our existence is mostly based on our faith. It is the cornerstone of our connection with God and everything that it entails in the service of His plan. Our judgments, interactions with people, and responses to the circumstances we face are all influenced by our faith. Our faith becomes stronger the more we rely on God. God made us to be a part of the community. Living one's faith in community with other Christians is intended. You advance as you follow this path of faith alongside dependable Christian companions. Your faith is strengthened by the love and support you offer and receive in the church. Your feeling of purpose is strengthened by the possibilities you have to assist others. And you enjoy the great blessing of guiding others toward Christ and the hope he offers via your abilities.
