FAITH FORMULA
Hebrews 11:1-6 (1) – Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (KJV)
Read: James 2:26
Based on today’s Bible text, faith is a function of hope. This means that the first step to developing faith in God is to hope, and what triggers hope is a promise. Without a promise or an expectation, there is nothing to hope for. The Bible contains several of God’s promises, in which believers hope and gradually transform into their faith (Jeremiah 29:11). Therefore, the best source of hope for every Christian is the Word of God and the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 1:13-14 reveals that everyone saved is sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who guarantees our inheritance until the redemption. The work of the Holy Spirit in the subject of faith is to expose you to what the scripture says about you and to help build your hope in line with your divine purpose. In the process of time, hope leads to faith.
The next step is to sustain your faith. The knowledge and trust you have in God determine your level of faith. In other words, faith without works (actions taken, e.g., knowing God) will yield nothing! These actions are studying the Word, praying, putting in efforts, listening to others’ testimony, and living as though you already have what you wish for (Romans 4:17). In addition to the point about praying, there is a seal of strength that envelopes your faith when you pray in the Holy Ghost (Jude 1:20). Through this, you build a mechanism in the spirit where you can continually please God by faith (Hebrews 11:6).
Beloved, here is the formula:
Hope + the Word = Faith
Faith + Action = Results
Summary: Faith is the foundation for any concrete reality. It starts with hope, based on God’s Word, with the help of the Holy Spirit.
