The Bible declares that it is "by faith that we are saved" ( Ephesians 2:8) and by faith we live, " the just shall live by faith" ( Galatians 3:11) Faith is essential to pleasing God, for without faith it is impossible. Faith results in victory and brings us into the fulness of God's promises. What is faith?- it is the act of believing, trusting and relying upon God. Why not meditate on and consider these two verses from a hymn? My days are in His hands, Every one by Him is planned. So why should I fear, When I know he is near, And my days are in His hands. My Lord, my God , my King, My way, my everything, I commit to you my ways, All my moments, all my days, I' m so glad they're in Your hands. Here are one or two scripture references about faith which you may find helpful. John 3:16 Hebrews 10:38 Hebrews 11:6 1 John 5:4 Matthew 21:22
