Faith

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

I’m sure many know the above verse by heart. But do we really appreciate what it means just on its own? I’m going to have a go at it.
The substance of things hoped for. When you hope what you are doing is not tangible.
The evidence of things not seen- not seen by the naked eye.
Now, if we’re talking of evidence that cannot be seen then how do we know that someone has faith?
Works?
Here begins the argument and I think it’s becoz, like many people who just argue for the sake of arguing, we take verses and end there and don't take time to pray for revelation and understanding when we read the Bible. In this case James is usually the case in point.
Today I ask you to do this with me,
Meditate on what faith really is and ask yourself what it means for our relationship with others here on earth and with Jesus.
I’ll post my findings sometime soon.
