Believe the Impossible

“Where is your faith?”
LUKE 8:25

What is faith? Is it a spiritual force? Is it a creative power? Is it a special gift from God, or something we have to develop on our own? According to the Bible, faith is simply believing that God is Who He says He is, and trusting that He will do what He says He will do. When Jesus says, “Where is your faith?” He’s saying, “Don’t you trust Me?”

I’m convinced that we have plenty of faith. The problem is we have faith in all the wrong things. Where is your faith? In yourself? In other people? Can you only trust what you see, hear, and experience, or will you dare to trust Someone you can’t see? Believing the impossible makes the impossible possible.

Hebrews 11

By Faith We Understand



11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.



3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.



11:1–40 The 11th chapter is a moving account of faithful OT saints and given such titles as, “The Saints’ Hall of Fame,” “The Honor Roll of OT Saints,” and “Heroes of Faith.” They all attest to the value of living by faith. They compose the “cloud of witnesses”(12:1) who give powerful testimony to the Hebrews that they should come to faith in God’s truth in Christ.



11:1 This verse is written in a style of Heb. poetry (used often in the Psalms), in which two parallel and nearly identical phrases are used to state the same thing. Cf. 1Pe 1:7—God tests our faith in the crucible. assurance. This is from the same Gr. word translated “exact representation” in 1:3 and “assurance” in 3:14. The faith described here involves the most solid possible conviction, the God-given present assurance of a future reality.



conviction of things not seen. True faith is not based on empirical evidence but on divine assurance, and is a gift of God (Eph 2:8).



11:2 men of old. In this context, the term refers to all saints, both men and women, under the older covenant, a select few of whom are described in vv. 4–40. gained approval. Lit. “were testified to” or “had witness given about them” (cf. vv. 4, 39). God bears witness on the behalf of these saints that they lived by faith and divine approval is granted to them.



11:3 By faith. Each example of faith in vv. 3–31 is formally introduced with this specific phrase. True saving faith works in obedience to God (see notes on Jas 2:14–25). we. This refers to the writer and all other true believers, present and past. worlds. The physical universe itself, as well as its operation and administration.



were prepared. The concept involved in this verb (used also in 13:21) is that of equipping so that something might be made ready to fulfill its purpose. word of God. God’s divine utterance (see, e.g., Ge 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 14).



not made. God created the universe out of something which cannot be seen. There is the possibility that the invisible something was God’s own energy or power.



True saving faith is supernatural created in the believer as he accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour for the forgiveness of sins. This is only possible after haveing got the gift of true repentance.

Answer 2

Why would you assume that every human has a "faith" ? No such thing is required to perform basic life functions (i.e. eating and going to the bathroom). If faith is anything, it a choice. If you study yourself and your beliefs, you will see that you did, at some point, rationally choose your beliefs. You also have the choice not to have them.



Therefore, your argument admits the fallacy of dogma, because you assume that every person must have faith in something, whereby it can be easily shown that not every person has such a thing, and nor is such a thing required in order to exist.

Answer 3

Answer: I don't have faith because faith is a failed means to come to knowledge. In other words, faith is a failed epistemology.



Faith is pretending to know things you don't know. Faith claims are knowledge claims, yet, this knowledge cannot be proven. Therefore, it is not knowledge.



The truth stands on its own--it doesn't need anything to support it.



If someone tells you that you need "faith" to believe in something, you should question them because they're trying to deceive you.

Answer 4

Faith is what you cling to when you can't Logically or honestly Prove something...



atheists don't use Faith,,we use Facts and evidence,,no need for Faith when you have those...

Answer 5

" Believing the impossible makes the impossible possible."



--- There's the problem. Believing the impossible does NOT make the impossible possible, it only makes you delusional, perhaps borderline psychotic.

Answer 6

Atheists come in all shades of opinion but a great many of them put all their faith and base arguments on a slight understanding of classical science.



They live in denial or complete ignorance of quantum mechanics. A science that shatters the mechanical universe model and throws doubt on the true nature of time space and matter.

Answer 8

I have faith in people. Given the right circumstances the vast majority of people always do the right thing. It has to be so or we would all descend into total chaos.

Answer 9

Faith is belief in something that there is no proof of. Why would I believe, or have faith in, something that doesn't exist?
