AUTHENTIC FAITH!

 

AUTHENTIC FAITH!

 

Many of us=want 100% proof

That there is a GOD=

But that is NOT

What real faith is

WHAT AUTHENTIC FAITH IS!

 

Authentic Faith call us

To BELIEVE without seeing

 

“BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus

And you=and your household

Will be saved”                                                                                                                    Acts 16:31

 

The disciples SAW

Jesus in the flesh

BOTH before his death

And after his resurrection

 

But there CAME a day

When he had to

RETURN to his Father=

And no longer

Could they see him

 

AUTHENTIC FAITH-

At its core=IS BELIEVING

Without seeing=without 100% proof

AUTHENTIC FAITH!

 

When Jesus was NO LONGER

In their midst

The disciples REMAINED in faith

THEIR FAITH WAS REAL!

 

“For my flesh-

Is REAL FOOD=

And my blood=IS REAL DRINK!                                                                                     John 6:55

 

Sometimes in life=our faith

Is CLOUDED=

In doubt=in anxiety=and in fear

 

But even in

The UPS AND DOWNS

Of our life

And all of its curveballs

 

Faith is NOT

About seeing=or ABSOLUTE CETAINTY=

Yet I KNOW

In my heart of hearts

God is REAL

Jesus is real=

I have AN AUTHENTIC FAITH!

In the Lord

 

“He replied’

‘Because you have

So little FAITH=

 

Truly I tell you

If you have FAITH

As small=as a mustard seed

You can say=To the mountain’

 

‘Move from here to there’

And it will move=

Nothing will be=IMPOSSIBLE for you’”                                                                                Matthew 17:20

 

“In the same way

FAITH by itself

If it is=NOT accompanied by action

Is dead”                                                                                                                                          James 2:17

 

Faith does NOT HINGE

Upon signs and wonders either=

AUTHENTIC FAITH!

Isn’t just believing

What we cannot see

 

It is ACKNOWLEDGING

What is IN OUR HEARTS

IT IS AUTHENTIC FAITH!

 

Believe in God

Believe in Jesus

They are real=THEY ARE AUTHENTIC!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=Of our EVER AUTHENTIC=Loving Lord
