Title Must Have Faith
content le>
Whenever Jesus sees the incompetent disciples wrestling with problems that they can't solve, and openly arguing with each other without offering solutions, he says, "O you of little faith!" and sighed. When we look at a society and an era where only signs of destruction are coming to an end and the age and society are coming to an end, we say, "O unbelieving generation!" and lamented. It is said that if a person has faith as small as a mustard seed, he can move a mountain and throw it into the sea. So, if you don't have a lot of faith, no matter how good the world is, it will perish forever, and even if you have a little faith, you can't solve problems. That's why Jesus' disciples begged, "Lord, give us more faith!"
The 11th chapter of Hebrews in the New Testament that we read today is the chapter on faith. First, it is said, "It is only through faith that you can offer God the righteous sacrifice of justice." A person can die for justice without believing in God. There are patriotic martyrs and martyrs who do not believe in Jesus, and there are those who gave their lives to help the weak. However, those who fight for justice and die without faith in God can please people, but cannot offer sacrifices that will please God. Instead of pleasing one person, one hates the other and becomes hostile. The struggle for justice without faith will only lead to hatred and retaliation, resulting in a vicious circle.
Justice fighters come from all over the fortress, fight for justice, and go to jail and even die because of the struggle for justice, but without faith, all of them cannot be a struggle to bring justice to this land. The sacrifice that is righteous to God is the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, and I will take the responsibility of those who sacrifice themselves, even the faults of those who make mistakes, believing that God will remove evil and that God Himself, the ruler of history, will set it right. It is the truth that justice cannot be accomplished without the love and sacrifice of the cross that achieves justice through death, the sacrifice of love. Only with faith, with fervent faith, you can become a fighter of right justice and realize right justice.
Third, we must have faith to prepare for the future like Noah. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Therefore, the ancestors put their hopes in the future through faith and made those hopes a reality. If you do not have faith, you have no choice but to become a ephemeral that earns that day, eats that day, lives that day, and dies that day. It's a damn world, what do you do when you think about tomorrow, do you need to work hard today for tomorrow? They eat, drink, marry, marry, bite each other, eat, and die. So, if you don't have faith, don't do it, the generation without faith itself is the end. In any apocalyptic situation, a person of faith sees the future, prepares for the future, and creates the future. So, to the believer, the words end, destruction, or the end are neither appropriate nor existent.
Abraham was the father of faith, and he did not know where he was going, but he believed God's call and went out. Seeing through the eyes of faith, everything looks like God's creation. If you start with faith, all things are possible. If you fight with faith, all problems will be overcome and solved. So, a person of faith, a person of strong faith, sees everything productively, thinks constructively, and works creatively. We don't want to say, "Lord, help my unbelief, help my lack of faith!" You will have to pray, long for faith, and engage in training to increase your faith.
