Faith is believing in something that you cannot see. A lot of people (even many Christians!) seem to think that faith is unnecessary or even foolish. But faith is incredibly important! In fact, the Bible says that, without faith, it is impossible to please God. There are those who say that there is no God, and they insist that you have to prove God’s existence to believe in Him. And, though we are instructed to always have an answer for the hope that is in us, it is perfectly acceptable (maybe even best!) to believe in Jesus solely on faith. Faith is not foolish, it’s an important part of our everyday lives. And Jesus says that those who believe without seeing are blessed. We need faith.
Bible Verses:
- Hebrews 11:6 – Faith is essential to please God.
- 1 Peter 3:15 – Be ready to explain your faith.
- John 20:29 – Blessed are those who believe unseen.
- 2 Corinthians 5:7 – Walk by faith, not by sight.
- Romans 10:17 – Faith comes from hearing God’s word.

Prayer:
