Love Of God

Sermon on the mount - Sunday School - Funeral For The Living

Although critics may scoff at the need for faith in God and His Word, the Bible reveals a dimension of knowledge that is clearly missing in our modern secular world. Believe it or not, the lack of faith in our modern world was prophesied nearly 2,000 years ago. The apostle Peter was inspired to predict, “…scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘where is the promise of His coming?’” (2 Peter 3:3–4).

Peter states that people will deliberately ignore such things as prophecy and the facts of recorded history (2 Peter 3:5–13). The Bible reveals that the tendency to doubt is a proclivity of human nature. We are also told in Scripture that Satan will plant doubts to undermine real faith in God. He did this with Adam and Eve by suggesting that God wasn’t telling them the whole truth.

The challenge facing each of us as Christians is, how do we build real faith? What is involved? This is nothing new and is not limited to our present age.

Ask God for more faith

Prove what you believe

Study what the Bible reveals about faith

Stir up God’s Spirit

Live by faith

Endure trials that will arise as you strive to live by every word of God

Don’t compromise or deny the true faith
