The more confident we are of the promises in God’s Word, the more inspired we are to obey Him.
Faith is often thought of as a thing we have – a belief in something or someone. But according to the Bible faith is more than a passive possession, it’s a firm confidence that results in action. Action follows every mention of faith.

Instead of sitting back we as believers should count on God’s promises and act accordingly, as did the people in Hebrews 11.
The Lord accomplished amazing feats through their lives when they believed Him and moved in obedience. Like a muscle, faith grows. The more we put it into action. We can strengthen our trust in God and His promises, even if we don’t live to see the fulfillment in our lifetime.
We can choose to let God use us by letting biblical truths and His character and power shape our thinking and response.
