How Would You Define Your Faith?
Please contact us if you have any questions or comments or would just like some encouragement?
There are many ways you can define your faith. I would have to say all the facts from the Bible, and what God has used which was evil in my past, to turn it around and make good out of it! It is a combination of God’s Word and with of what God has done in my life through His love and grace and power.
If how you define your faith comes from both of your parents were Christian, or that you go to church weekly, or give money to the church or the poor, I urge you to look into your faith a little more closely, you might be deceiving yourself. ~ Bill Greguska
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Reasonable Answers A Person Need To Believe In God?
Define Your Faith?
- Do You Find Yourself Practicing “Religion?”
- Or Do You Have A Personal “Relationship” With God?”
In my life, I have discovered that there are two opposing viewpoints on this topic. Some people like to feel “religious” and others cherish their “personal relationship” with Jesus Christ.
How about you? Have you grown up practicing “Religion?” Or do you have “A Relationship” with God? Here is the difference.
- Unfortunately, for many, religion follows a set of man-made Rules. It is an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship their created “God.”
- Then, on the other hand, having a relationship with Jesus Christ is a daily personal way of life. The connection is between our creator God and ourselves, based on the truth of God from the Bible, not on a denomination’s interpretation. Having a relationship with Jesus offers us love, comfort, direction, hope, and the forgiveness that we all need. Learn more by watching this short video (Why I hate religion?).

The answer is #10. If you checked any more of the items, you failed the test. Don’t feel bad. Religion is nothing more than our feeble attempts to please God by doing good works. (Good actions are not wrong to do, but are not the way to heaven)
It says in Romans 10:9-10 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
