Impossible Without &#8230; Faith!&#8221;<br>&#8221; &#8230; without faith it is impossible to please him &#8230;. &#8220;<br>Hebrews 11:6a<br>The word faith is found only twice in all the Old<br>Testament; once in Deuteronomy 32:20 where we read of a<br>&#8220;froward generation, children in whom is no faith, &#8221; and again<br>in Habakkuk 2:4, which reads, &#8221; &#8230; the just shall live by his<br>faith.&#8221; The fact that the word faith is found only twice in the<br>Old Testament by no means infers that there were not men and<br>women of great faith in Old Testament times. They that<br>pleased God and walked in holy fellowship with Him and<br>made an impression on their generation were men of great<br>faith in God&#8217;s person and power and promises.<br>First John 5:4 sets forth the importance of faith, for we<br>read, &#8220;this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our<br>faith. &#8221; It is absolutely impossible to please Almighty God,<br>and it is absolutely impossible to overcome the world without<br>faith.<br>I think the importance of faith is seen in a conversation<br>Jesus had with Simon Peter, one of the twelve. One day, Jesus,<br>in predicting the denial of Peter, said, &#8220;Simon, behold, Satan<br>hath desired to have you that he may sift you as wheat: But I<br>have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou are<br>converted, strengthen thy brethren&#8221; (Luke 22:31,32). Jesus<br>said that He had prayed for Peter that his faith would not fail.<br>The Christians of strong faith are the ones who stand true to the<br>Word of God and win souls to Jesus Christ, and they are a<br>comfort to the brethren. I pray the same for you! &#8211; T.M.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prepared by Roger Fulk, from the \u201cBaptist Bread\u201d March 19, 2023 devotional by author Dr. Tom Malone (Deceased), Pontiac, MI.
