It is obvious that believers were shrinking back in fear as persecution came upon them. They are reminded that it is impossible to overcome without faith. Faith Impossible without Assurance Faith anticipates certainty for the future. There is no way you can invest in anything without certainty that what you are investing in is trustworthy. Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Faith is the ability to look beyond the visible into the invisible.
It is the ability to look beyond the momentary temporal scene as we fix our focus on what we know to be true. As we focus on what we know to be true, we are enabled to live in harmony with that truth. The truth we speak of is the eternal truth of God. Faith is impossible without a proper perspective, and eternal truth is designed to give us a proper perspective. And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light.
