Faith In God
Faith in God - A Pure Perspective
Our faith in God is bolstered by the evidence and grounded in a transformed life. However, the simplicity of our faith is summed-up best by the innocence of a pure heart. Here's an essay written by an eight-year-old...
Faith in God - Through the Innocent Heart of a Child
One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth. He doesn't make grown-ups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way He doesn't have to take up His valuable time teaching them to talk and walk. He can just leave that to the mothers and fathers.
God's second most important job is listening to prayers. An awful lot of this goes on, since some people, like preachers and things, pray at times beside bedtime. God doesn't have time to listen to the radio or TV because of this.
God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere, which keeps Him pretty busy. So you shouldn't go wasting His time by going over your Mom and Dad's head asking for something they said you couldn't have.
Atheists are people who don't believe in God. I don't think there are any in my town. At least there aren't any who come to our church.
Jesus is God's Son. He used to do all the hard work like walking on water and performing miracles and people finally got tired of Him preaching to them and they crucified Him. But He was good and kind, like His Father, and He told His Father that they didn't know what they were doing and to forgive them and God said, "O.K."
His Dad (God) appreciated everything that He had done and all His hard work on earth so He told Him He didn't have to go out on the road anymore. He could stay in heaven. So He did. And now He helps His Dad out by listening to prayers and seeing things which are important for God to take care of and which ones He can take care of Himself without having to bother God. (Like a secretary, only more important.) You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to help you because they got it worked out so one of them is on duty all the time.
You should always go to church on Sunday because it makes God happy, and if there's anybody you want to make happy, it's God. Don't skip church to do something you think will be more fun like going to the beach. This is wrong. And besides, the sun doesn't come out at the beach until noon anyway.
If you don't believe in God, besides being an atheist, you will be very lonely, because your parents can't go everywhere with you, like to camp, but God can. It is good to know He's around you when you're scared in the dark or when you can't swim and big kids throw you into real deep water.
But…you shouldn't just always think of what God can do for you. I figure God put me here and He can take me back anytime He pleases.
And…that's why I believe in God.
Faith in God - Christ's Perspective
The simple perspective of a child's faith in God is a key principle in Christ's teaching. We should constantly tap that wonderful innocence and purity of heart when approaching God through the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ.
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, verily I say unto you, except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever shall receive one such little child in my name receives me
Explanation:
Faith is one human characteristic that does not allow for compromise. That is, either one possesses it or does not. Those that do possess faith generally lead blessed, fun-filled lives, despite the various trials and tribulations encountered along the way. They are usually extremely successful yet grounded in the principles of life, and generally inspire others to have faith and to improve in every aspect of their life. They usually have a healthy regard and understanding of the value and purpose of human life, and have a general realization and utmost respect for the power of Creator of the Universe.
Those that do not, on the other hand, are usually pessimistic, miserable and drama prone. Life for these individuals is like an unsolved mystery filled with doubt, confusion, worry and an overall questioning of their very existence. Therefore, it is no small wonder that many, if not all, of these individuals generally have a lack of regard, and much less understanding, of the value and purpose of human life and life in general. Needless to say, they question the very origin and existence of God, as well as the root of all origins of life.
According to the dictionary, faith has two basic meanings: The first is complete confidence in a person or plan, etc., and the second is a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny. These basic meanings exemplify ultimate trust and sincere belief that something good is eventually going to happen to make all well, regardless of the circumstances and situations that may be present. It also requires that someone whom we love, trust and have confidence in will not betray that trust, and will continue to build on that foundation to secure a lifelong, fruitful bond. It can also entail that a passionate goal of any kind can be reached, regardless of the ups and downs of everyday living, and given that the goal does not violate the laws of God and man.
To further clarify the aforementioned, Hebrews 11:1 of the Holy Bible states, ‘Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” This particular scripture has humans placing the ultimate trust and belief in the supernatural (God himself) to prevail, uplift and save mankind, regardless of their state and circumstance. It is placing their belief in a certain event or goal that has not yet happened but will eventually come to fruition with the right approach and the grace of God. Two biblical examples of men who have shown faith in God are Job and Jesus. Job, despite being reduced from riches to rags, never lost faith, and continued to believe in God. Afterward, he was blessed with more than he had previous to his trial. Jesus, despite the various trials and tribulations he experienced while living, still remained faithful, even unto death. As a result, he rose to the right hand of God and is still revered and respected to the present day.
Hopefully this article has shed a little light on the importance of faith in everyday life. It is imperative in each and every aspect of it, and can make a profound difference in the quality of life of an individual. With exams coming up, I have faith that all will do the best they can do to get the best grade possible. Best of luck to all in that and in all things
