Text: Hebrews 11:1-3
Purpose: Christians keep their faith in God strongly.
Content: Human ability/The people of God
This week was the most exciting week because of what happen to me personally. The result of the event finished as the worst though. How were your weekdays? Whatever happened to us that was the blessing of God. I believe that.
Human ability
Are you a truly believer in Christianity? Do you think that you are pleasing God with your belief in God. Let me give you some words to justify what is not belief in God. The feeling of fear, worries, uneasiness, and regret do not belong to strong believer. These feelings sometimes come out of our mind because we have no ability to control certain circumstances.
Fear rises when a person goes in a dark place like cave, when a person travel in abroad, when a person with a wild animal. When I was 5years old, I had been bit by a big dog. After that I am afraid to be with a big dog. Also we feel fear because we do not know when is the time to lose our own things such as our money, friends, house, and life and so on.
These bad feelings are connected with our wishes. We hope that we are happy but the truth is that we cannot control the situations around us. What I must say to you is that even though you worry about many things in your life, which could not help you to live better. You are not the master of you life. People say that they live by their own thought. However, we believe that we are belonging to God. So we live by God’s rule. Let me say again, we live by the power of God not by ours.
There are people who say that they believe themselves and live by their own power. However that is not true. They might try but they will not. All of us in this world live in unknown future but some of us will get God’s help in their life and will experience the power of God. Who is going to be the one? The one is someone strongly believe in God and God’s purpose on her or him.
The People of God
You want to be the one? Then you live with God. How to? Bible text today shows us how to be the one who lives with God. You can do this by faith. “1What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see.”
Recently I found myself that I sometimes forget God is with me. Because of that kind of bad habit, I was not happy enough. Why? Whenever I forget my God with me, I could not have the power of God in my life. Do you think that you did the same I did? Then you need to understand that God will help you only if you strongly believe in God.
Believing in living, the Savior, and loving God you can live with the almighty God. However even after you become overwhelmed by this sermon, you would not be able to live by your faith. Why is that? You have lived by your own mind very long time, so your past experiences dominate you. Your mind would be changed right now but your body would not. The change you are longing for in you will be come slowly. What is the point is that you keep try to be with God.
Faith is working like this. Moses gave up his privilege to be the prince of Egypt to follow God’s will. He had hard time for 40years but did not regret about his life. Why? He has walked along God. He believed that God will give him eternal joy as well as Ganaan for descendants of Israelites.
Likewise, for us, I mean, for our life, sometimes you have to get through difficult situations, however you must not worry but trust your living God. You must be with God in every moment. That will be your truly happiness.
Let’s Pray.
Oh! God, we need you. We are in you. Our life is relying on you. Let us live by your power. I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
