The Importance of Faith and Courage

 The Importance of Faith and Courage

Positive Christianity Episode #97

We learn that having faith is important because we are able to recognize that GOD Almighty created everything and deserves the worship. We are able to obtain wisdom when we choose to worship GOD Almighty above everything and obey the commandments of Moses. This describes the importance of trusting GOD Almighty above everything including relationships, resources, lust, and idol worship. We know that we can not practice idol worship because it does not help and does not provide favor and instead causes difficulties, stagnation, vices, and destruction to the unrepentant wicked seen in the stories of Balaam, Korah's rebelion, Saul, Jehoram, and Athalia, and Judas. We learn that instead we are supposed to practice faith so that faith increases each day to the point that faith grows to confidence and confidence to zeal. We learn that faithlessness and lukewarm belief causes difficulties and may lead to believing temporary lies that are not real describing idol worship, practicing vices, and disobeying the commandments of Moses.

Abraham and Sarah were able to trust in GOD Almighty above everything having faith and courage to persevere in the worship of GOD Almighty. We learn that Abraham and Sarah were not young when they decided to trust in GOD Almighty and yet they were able to persevere with renovation of youth because they believed the promises of GOD Almighty. We learn that Abraham and Sarah obeyed GOD Almighty and did not practice idol worship. We learn that while they had resources, they did not trust in the resources over GOD Almighty. While the things of the world would question how it is possible for Abraham and Sarah to have children at ninety nine years of age, we learn that Abraham and Sarah are able to be father and mother of nations. We learn that this describes why we can not doubt the Creator of the Highest Heavens, lower heavens, the earth, the universe, humanity, creation, and everything.

"By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city that has foundation, whose designer and builder is GOD. By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. Therefore, from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore."- Hebrews 11: 8-12

We learn that GOD Almighty favors and blesses the righteous that decide to worship GOD Almighty above everything. We learn that Abraham and Sarah were able to persevere practicing righteousness at their age. We learn that they trusted in GOD Almighty and did not listen to the discouragement of sin. We learn that Abraham and Sarah had courage to obey GOD Almighty sojourning in the land that GOD Almighty would give to their eternal descendants. We learn that they also had fidelity to GOD Almighty being able to obey GOD Almighty with faith, renovation of youth, confidence, and zeal instead of doubting GOD Almighty. We learn that Abraham constructed wells that describe the manner that he had renovation of youth even at ninety nine years of age. We learn that he practiced genuine empathy by constructing wells so that individuals could have water to drink who lived in the land or were walking through the land. Sarah was able to conceive at close to one hundred years of age describing the power of GOD Almighty to bless Abraham and Sarah with eternal descendants. This describes why we can not allow evil to discourage righteous individuals because sin does not want to help and instead wants to demotivate, cause resentment, and envy. 

We learn that Abraham and Sarah were able to have eternal descendants and the manner that they raise up Isaac in the instruction of the worship of GOD Almighty. We learn that they did not allow their age to affect them and instead trusted in GOD Almighty being able to prosper and instruct Isaac in the worship of GOD Almighty. We learn that Abraham and Sarah are able to have long life living greater than a hundred years of age while being able to raise up their child. We learn that they were industrious and responsible because of their worship of GOD Almighty. We learn that Isaac has true belief and faith and does not practice idol worship. This describes the importance of having faith, courage, and obeying GOD Almighty. We learn that the example of Abraham and Sarah describe the importance of the family structure. We know that GOD Almighty created the family structure describing the importance of marriage between a man and a woman for the creation of righteous children that are instructed in the worship of GOD Almighty. We know that evil hates the family structure, the definition of a marriage being between a man and a woman, and that children are able to be raised up growing with instruction, correction, and reproof with Christian values and morals. If we are single, we learn that in these times we need to keep worshiping GOD Almighty above everything and be able to use our time, talents, and resources for the worship of GOD Almighty, obeying the commandments, and preaching truth. If individuals are married, there is the need to protect themselves from idolatry and adultery and keep raising up their children with the instruction of the worship of GOD Almighty. This describes practicing fidelity to GOD Almighty. We are supposed to be far apart from the practice of vices describing slothfulness, envy, hate, anger, resentment, bitterness, avarice, greed, intemperance, arrogance, gluttony, and irresponsibility. We are able to persevere having eternal meaning and purpose in the worship of GOD Almighty, King Jesus, and the Spirit of Truth so that we do not believe the temporary lies of deception that want to lead to atheism, nihilism, socialism, and communism so that there is a lack of meaning, lack of purpose, and lack of faith. When we decide to worship GOD Almighty above everything, we know that we are able to persevere because GOD Almighty helps us persevere.

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful."-Hebrews 10: 23
