“What is faith?” The Sunday school boys and girls thought silently and long, for it is a hard question. But they had been coming to Sunday school for many months, and I hoped they would have a good answer.
At last Jimmy’s hand went up.
“It is believing what God says.” Jimmy was quite right, but still I waited hoping for a better answer. Soon Carol’s hand was raised.
“It is believing what God says because God says it.”
That sounded better. Not only believing God’s word, but believing God Himself. For we read that Abraham believed God, and not simply God’s promise.
Then Alice’s hand went timidly up. “Faith is believing God and asking no questions.”
Do you, dear boys and girls, believe God? Listen to what He says.
