"Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that the believer would stake his life on it a thousand times." -MARTIN LUTHER, 1522.
"To all intents and purposes we already are a secular society in which Christian faith and practices have become largely moribund." -LUDOVIC KENNEDY, 1999.
VIEWS on faith differ dramatically. In the past, faith in God was the norm. Nowadays, in a world of skepticism and suffering, true faith in God and in the Bible is disappearing rapidly.
True Faith
To many, "faith" simply means having a religious belief or following a form of worship. As used in the Bible,however, "faith" basically means total trust-complete, unshakable confidence in God and his promises. It is quality that marks a disciple of Jesus Christ.
On one occasion, Jesus Christ spoke about the need to pray and "not to give up." In so doing, he raised a question about whether true faith would exist at all in our day. He asked; "When the Son of man arrives, will he really find this faith on the earth?" Why did he raise such a question? -Luke 18:1,8.
