“Surely there is a future, and your HOPE will not be cut off.” – Proverbs 23:18 ESV

Hope, Faith & Fear

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1

INTRODUCTION:

• Faith is being described as an act, an act of the mind and heart.
• Faith is the actual possession of reality.
• Faith is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen.
• Faith is a deep knowing that something is true, although there may not be physical evidence or a way to prove it to others.
• Faith is beyond positive thinking; faith carries action.
• Faith is the evidence of things we cannot yet see, meaning we have complete confidence that God will fulfill his promises, even though we don’t yet see any evidence.
