Where Is Your Faith Based?

People have faith in many things, whether its faith in your motorcar, your motorcycle, your spouse, friends, relatives, etc. Faith is always somewhere, or in something. But what is faith actually? Faith is believing in something. Whether you hear about it or read about it, faith comes alive in our lives. No matter where you are in life, faith is a part of it all. But where should your faith be based? Let me put the question this way. In whom should your faith be based? Let’s read Romans 10:17.

“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.” Yes, we need to base our faith in Jesus Christ. The Word is our Lord Jesus, our Saviour and Redeemer. Our faith should be based upon our following of our saving and loving God. Without hearing about Jesus, we really have no faith. Faith comes by hearing. This means we should be reading the bible and “hearing” what it’s telling us. Only then will we understand the true message of faith; that Jesus came to save us from the sin we live by.

Therefore as Christians we should not do things not found in the bible. It is our guideline in which we should be living our lives. Real faith is believing in what we are hearing. Without this we are not living by faith. Most people just “have” faith in everything around or involved in their lives – this is dead faith, nothing to write home about. Real faith comes when we believe in Jesus Christ and live out our lives as He teaches us what is written in the bible. Therefore, I now ask you, where is your faith based, or in whom is your faith based? Mine is in our living Saviour God; for He is where my faith remains anchored. And your faith? Enjoy and be blessed!
