Saving Faith

SAVING faith is believing God’s Word, believing that He is trustworthy to fulfill His promise and able to carry it out. Faith is not reasoning about or feeling that Word, but simply believing it because God says it. That is why so few people are willing to believe God. They look for evidences, feelings, emotions and sensations, instead of putting simple faith and trust in the promises of the Lord. Abraham believed God, and was confident God could and would do as He said—give Abraham and Sarah a son in their old age.
