‘Foundational Faith’

By Pastor Bill Hayden

Acknowledging that you believe in God, the Father of all creation, is good. Traveling on the lands, seas, and skies above, we observe nature’s wonders, beauty, and mystery. Some individuals have been blessed to have seen the Earth from deep space. Simply believing in God doesn’t assure us of having a relationship with Him and going to heaven. The Devil believes and knows that God exists, but he is determined to keep you from Him.

It is good to quote the stories you have heard about God’s involvement in the destiny of nations. This doesn’t give a person a ticket to try and use what God did in the past for what they desire Him to do in their future. On the other hand, when the condition of a person’s heart is proper, miracles are available.

Praying for God to bless you and others in all your endeavors is good. However, this doesn’t give you the right to live recklessly by counting on others to pray for your successes. There is a law of sowing and reaping for which you are held accountable.

Believing that God exists is the primary doorway to understanding your identity and the purpose for which you were created. The one valid reason that you were created was for a relationship with Him and to enjoy all He made without sin and regret. After entering the doorway, our path is made clear: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Proverbs 9:10 NKJV

Your faith in God is paramount in receiving His grace to sustain you when you fail to trust Him. His grace calls you to invest all in the One person that never comes up short in His faithfulness to you…Jesus Christ, the Son of God!

1 John 5:12 ESV “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” primary
