He spoke the word of faith. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. No one can see God. Yet millions of people spend every Sunday morning in church listening to someone talking about a person they cannot see. It is said that wherever you are, God is.
Faith is always a leap into the dark in some respects.
If you are on the end of a limb and do not know where to go next, faith is taking that next step. You will never go anywhere unless you take a step of faith. It was faith this morning for you to swing your legs out of bed and touch the floor. You had to believe that the law of gravity would keep you in the right position. I'll use another verse to illustrate how this statement about faith is so effective.
