Unshakeable Faith: Rooted in God’s Promises

Unshakeable Trust: The Foundation of Faith

When we talk about confidence, we’re referring to the unwavering belief that we can rely on someone or something. In essence, it’s the state of being certain about the truth of something. As the Bible so eloquently puts it, “faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1).

The Ultimate Source of Confidence

It’s exhilarating to know that we can put our trust in God, who sent His Son Jesus to redeem us. This confidence is rooted in the atoning work of Christ on the cross, which provides the foundation for our faith. It’s a faith that’s not based on what we can see or feel, but on the unwavering promises of God.

A Prayer for Perseverance

As we navigate the challenges of life, it’s essential to fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. Let’s pray together: “Lord God, our faith is in you. Since we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, we throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And we run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus… In Jesus’ name, amen” (Hebrews 12:1-3).

The Power of Perseverance

When we focus on Jesus, who endured opposition from sinners and emerged victorious, we’re inspired to persevere in our own journey of faith. We’re reminded that we’re not alone in this race, but are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses who have gone before us.

Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus

As we look to Jesus, we’re filled with a sense of hope and assurance. We’re empowered to throw off the things that hinder us and to run with perseverance, knowing that our faith is rooted in the unshakeable promises of God. May we fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, and may we emerge victorious in the race marked out for us.
