Unlimited: Probabilities Have Nothing To Do With Faith

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1 KJV).

What is Faith? In the simplest manner in which I am able to express it, I answer: Faith is the assurance that the thing which God has said in his Word is true, and that God will act according to what he has said in his Word. This assurance, this reliance on God’s Word, this confidence, is faith.

Convictions have nothing to do with faith. Faith has to do with the Word of God. It is not conviction, strong or weak, which will make any difference. We must rely on God’s Word and not on ourselves or our convictions.

Many people are willing to believe things that seem probable to them. Faith has nothing to do with probabilities. The role of faith begins where probabilities cease and sight and sense fail.

A great many of God’s children are discouraged and lament their want of faith. They write to me and say that they have no conviction, no feeling, they see no likelihood that the thing they wish will come to pass. But faith is not about appearance or likelihood or feelings. The question is, whether God has spoken it in his Word.

Eli’s Reflection: Is there a difficult issue you are struggling with right now? Take a piece of paper and write these headings: “My feelings tell me that…” and “God tells me that…” Write down what your feelings are telling you, and then write down some Bible promises from God. Look at them carefully. Which will you believe? Make this the subject of prayer.

Dear Friend,

Thank you for taking a moment to consider this personal message from me.

The world is full of consumers, and that’s true of spiritual content as well. It’s all take, take, and more taking. But the message of Jesus, and the lives of those who follow him, will be characterized by giving. I want to invite you to consider not just being a hearer of the Word, but an even greater doer of the Word than you already are.

Did you know that today, 93,206 people will be reached with the Gospel by our ministry? That’s only possible because people like you decided to share the Gospel message by giving to GNU. Every dollar you give helps us to reach at least one person with the Gospel. Your gift, no matter how small or how large, is valuable to Christ.

Yes, I want to help reach people for Jesus!

Grace and Peace

Eliezer Gonzalez
