Faith Nourished
"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." (Hebrews 11:6)
Scripture Focus: Romans 10:8-15
Over the years, I have met many teenagers and adults who wrestle with the question, What is my purpose in life? I think that if we were all honest, we would admit to wondering this ourselves at one time or another.
Thankfully, the Bible answers that question. According to Revelation 4:11, we were created for God's pleasure, that He might receive the glory, honor, and power due unto His Name.When fulfilling God's perfect purpose for our lives, we experience the joy, peace, and soul satisfaction that He intended for us. But how do we know if we are pleasing God?
Hebrews 11:6 advises that the way to fulfill this chief purpose in life is through faith in Christ. Faith is a gift from God, and His Word is the instrument by which He brings it about. "faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word of Christ" (Romans 10:17). When we earnestly seek God through His Word and prayer, faith is built and nourished and the Author of our faith is pleased.
