Give me great faith/Hebrews 11:6
I pray that God's great grace be with you.
Today, I hope that grace will come to you by speaking about faith.
※ Pastor Norman Vincent Peel - The Story of Meeting the Storm
Even though we seem to have faith in ourselves, when we are faced with something big, we act without faith.
you will see When I preach the sermon, I once again confirm whether I have faith or not.
I hope you see it.
★Faith is called femin in Hebrew.
It means "to stand hot".
★The definition of faith is well expressed in Hebrews 11:1.
what is faith
① "The reality of things hoped for", that is, being sure of the hope for the future as if you already possessed it.
②"The evidence of things that cannot be seen", that is, the reality of all things that cannot be seen with the physical eye.
It means belief and certainty that can be seen with the naked eye.
kind of belief
1) Instinct belief: All human beings are born with an instinctive belief.
A newborn baby sucks its mother's milk without being taught by anyone because they have an instinctive belief that sucking will produce milk.
He also has an instinctive belief in the laws of the universe, and he instinctively believes in all natural orders, such as the rising of the sun in the east and the change of the four seasons.
All human beings are living with these instinctive beliefs.
2) Rational belief: When human beings are educated, they have rational beliefs.
Reasonable belief is believing without doubting the facts evidenced by experience and science.
say belief Whether we use the bank or go to the hospital, everything belongs to our rational beliefs.
3) Spiritual belief: All humans have instinctive and rational beliefs, but
You cannot trust God with this kind of faith.
Because God is a spirit (John 4:24), it is impossible to know God by human instinct and reason.

Only through spiritual faith can we know about God and about the kingdom of God.
This faith is given only to those who have received Jesus Christ as their Savior.
In order to gain spiritual faith, everyone must personally experience the experience of being born again before God.
must do.
The experience of being born again by accepting Jesus as our Savior is possible only with the help of the Holy Spirit.
(1 Corinthians 12:3)
Therefore, spiritual faith is not obtained by human strength.
It is given only to those who are born again by the grace of God. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
When it comes to spiritual faith, not all Christians have the same amount of faith.
This faith is given by God as a gift to us Christians, and according to the vessel, He gives each person an appropriate amount of faith. (Romans 12:3)
The measure of faith is not destined for each person.
The measure of faith can grow.
We must change our vessels into larger ones to increase the measure of our spiritual faith.
God gives us more faith when we pray, "Give us great faith!"
He gives trials, refinements, and trials to fulfill his prayers.
Sincere prayer is a tool to grow our spiritual faith.
Let's think about what happens when God gives us great faith.
First, God is most pleased with those who have faith.
Hebrews 11:6 "Without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever comes to God must be
and he must believe that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him."
God is very pleased with those who have faith.
God is not pleased with worship without faith.
Offering without faith, service, praise… is not acceptable to God.
Romans 14:23 "... everything that is not of faith is sin."
Matthew 8 The Centurion's Faith
“I have not found such a faith in any of Israel.”
※Mark 7:24 - The Syrobonic woman's faith
Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses in Hebrews 11… as people of faith
You made God happy.
I hope that we too will please God by praying for great faith.

Second, belief is the key to solving all problems.
There are bigger problems than Taesan in front of our lives.
Typical examples are the problem of sin, the problem of the devil, and the problem of death.
These three problems are not to be taken for granted.
If anyone does not solve these problems, they will be destroyed.
To cleanse life from the defilement of sin, to set free from the devil, to rise from the dead
These three things that give us new life cannot be solved with manpower or power.
These things can be said to be a big problem.
However, if you have faith in Christ, all these difficulties will be sufficiently solved. Even if the world is mobilized and all human strength is put together, we cannot solve these three major problems for a single human being, but please remember that everything will be successfully solved if you believe in Christ.
To those who suffer from physical diseases
“Your faith has saved you” (Luke 17:19).
“Do not be afraid, just believe, and your daughter will be saved” (Luke 8:50).
“Your faith has saved you; go in peace” (Luke 7:50).
As all these words show, faith is necessary for all things and makes all things possible.
you can see that
Third, we receive various blessings through faith.
1) Sinners are justified by faith. (Heb 11:4, Romans 4:5)
2) We are saved through faith and have eternal life. (John 3:16, John 5:24)
3) We become children of God through faith. (John 1:12, Hebrews 11:11)
4) We gain great strength through faith.
Dear saints,
Please pray for great faith.
The large meat was released and the small meat was kept.
Why? Because the pen for frying fish is small at home.
Hebrews 11:6
Faith that pleases God
Faith is the key to solving all problems
We receive many blessings through faith.
