Living By Faith 7

NTRO: Welcome back to our study of faith. It is some time since the last message so let me briefly tell you where we are. We have now finally studied what true faith is. I have defined faith like this: Faith is a belief held on the basis of any given information which a person deems credible which, on the one hand, does not have certain proof, but which on the other hand gives rise to hope for something that has not yet transpired. There are all kinds of faith, but there is only one true faith.
With regard to true faith we have said that the very first thing man must come to is that there is a God. And the evidence that there is a God is so amply set out by observing the universe in which we live that only a fool can miss it. So we learn that there is a God from what we call general revelation.
But once we have concluded that there is a God, now we must come to a conclusion on who the true God is. You see, information from the immaterial realm comes to man mainly from two sources, God or the devil. We saw in the early chapters in Genesis that both God and the devil communicated with man.
It is our conclusion that the faith that is placed in Jehovah God, the God revealed in the Bible, is the true faith. And the question is, what evidence do we have that biblical faith is the true faith? Some time ago I mentioned that we had a message called, Ten Proofs That The Bible Is The Word Of God. I gave the wrong title. The message title is, “Is The Bible The Word Of God?”
