FAITH CAPSULE: Faith causes man to seek God diligently.

Hebrews 11

One without faith will not be truthful and cannot seek God diligently.
Knowing the truth is what God expects from a true believer. 
The word of God calls for believers to know the truth because it makes one that knows it free. (John 8:32)
Knowing the truth is having faith. 
One that is true shall be faithful and free by God in a wicked world.
Genesis 6:5 states, “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” 
Truly faithful is what one needs to live pleasing God by not having a heart continually occupied with evil. 
Hebrews 11:6 states, “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Having faith will be seeking God diligently. 
There is known born with faith, but faith comes by consistently hearing the word of God. (Romans 10:17) 
With an understanding of faith, as stated above, the knowledge of the description of faithfulness enhances a true believer.
The Bible describes faith as “…the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it, the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” (Hebrews 11:1-3)
In this description of faith, two things will happen in the life of the truthful believer: Obtaining good testimony; Understanding the word.
Obtaining good testimony: 
Good testimony is the testimony of God.
One that obtains good testimony settles forever. 
For example, with faith, Abraham obtained the testimony of God because he dwelt in the land of promise, the city whose builder and maker is God. (Hebrews 11:8-10)
Sarah: By faith, she obtained good testimony and experienced expectation of manifestation in her life.
Bible records for Sarah, “By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age because she judged Him faithful who had promised.” (Hebrews 11:11)
Like Abraham and Sarah, faithful men such as Noah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and Moses obey God to obtain good testimony.
Understanding the word: Understanding the word of God will cause a man to stand as a believer in this wicked world. 
Understanding is the key to applying knowledge.
Understanding the world was framed by the word of God shall not experience a faith failure. 
There should be an understanding that the word of God framed the world, and it is more than enough for one to obey, dwell and wait on the word of God in engaging and overcoming as one who is in command.

Prayer for today: Ask that you gain the truth and understanding of God.
