Romans 10:17, So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Seeing Beyond by Faith
Here we are right in the middle of things, and the world is all around us. We all have real lives with many different kinds of experiences, that we have in kind, but what is it to see beyond this life by faith? Do you believe in God? Do you believe that God can give you a glimpse of things eternal? All this can be known by faith! It is not a natural experience, it is supernatural! No, I am not talking about some six-sense, or a psychic experience that is out of some mystic belief; that lacks all true belief in God. I am talking about faith, faith that is real; that trusts in God, and looks beyond this world by faith to God. The faith that looks beyond this world is true saving faith, for it is of God and God alone. The Bible says, that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” This is the kind of faith that is given to us from above, that trusts not in self, but in God, and that God gives to every searching heart, by faith. When we look beyond the veil of this life, we look at life the way God intended, by faith. This kind of faith is from Jesus, “the author and finisher of our faith”. Faith that is by the grace of God, and faith that is strengthened by God as we take heed to his divine word, for, “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
O, how wonderful is the word of God, to teach us the way of salvation. Do you have a Bible? Read it, and live it by faith, and you will see the eternal realities of things promised to you of God. The word of God says that God is the creator, and that we are sinners in need of a savior. Yes, this is the inspired word of God, and it has been around for many thousands of years, before Jesus was at last manifest in these last times, Heb 1:1,2 “ God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;”. He is the same that appeared to, Adam, Noah, Abraham, and others, as the God of Bible gives mercy unto all that call upon him.
The Lord God has graciously and lovingly given us his word throughout every generation, and age, for it is he, who is the “alpha and omega”, there is “no shadow of turning”, with God. He is ever the same God, who responds to a trusting and believing heart of faith. Therefore God will give you faith to see beyond the veil of this life, if you will humbly submit to him. “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart… In all thy ways acknowledge him, ….Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” Prov. 3:5-7
God only asks you, to trust in him by faith, faith that he will lovingly give you when you call upon him. Ro 10:9-10 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” To see beyond the veil of this life, is to know God, in Jesus Christ his Son, and that by faith. What is faith, but to, “Vision the unknown that only God can unveil, and see his perfect plan, redemption complete through Jesus Christ, the only God-Man”. In Jesus Name. Amen. Pdlg.
