Faith's Many Definitions

"By Faith Abraham Obeyed."
When God demands our most cherished possession, do we flinch - or obey?

What is FAITH?
An acronym for faith....

F - Forsaking
A - All
I - I
T - Take
H - Him

Faith is belief that God exists
Faith is trusting God
Faith is waiting patiently for God to undertake
Faith is the absence of doubt or worry
Faith is holding firmly to the promises of God
Faith is hoping for what is yet unseen
Faith is being crazy for God

Someone else describes faith with these words...."I cannot explain the wind, but I can hoist a sail."

The story of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac in Genesis 22:1 - 12, is a good illustration of faith in action.
