James 2:14 (ESV) What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? All the topics we have looked at over the last several weeks concerning prayer, ask anything, ask for wisdom, have joy in trials are all centered around faith. Since faith is foundational to all these promises, we need to understand “What is Faith”. Do you think means try harder, work up a strong belief, spend hours in prayer, fast and deprive yourself of things, etc. etc. etc.? None of these represent faith! What do you think is? The most succinct explanation is Hebrews 11:8. Heb.11:8 (NASB) By faith Abraham, when he was called (heard), obeyed (acted). Faith is when called, we obey. More generally, Faith is when we hear God, we act. Hear and don’t act is disobedience. Don’t hear and act is presumption.
