Why is faith important to God? Because faith – not need, doubt or fear – moves God. We too need to keep our eyes on Jesus instead of our circumstances – this will keep our faith strong during difficulties. The man with little faith was Peter, Jesus’s own disciple! Jesus was walking on the water and invited Peter to come to Him Peter had the faith to walk to Jesus on the water, but when his eyes focused on the wind and the waves, he became afraid and began to sink. She wouldn’t take “no” for an answer from this Jewish Rabbi, so Jesus – moved by her faith – granted her request. The woman was a Gentile who had faith that Jesus was the only hope for her sick daughter. Matthew 14:31: “And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, ‘O you of little faith, why did you doubt?’” Matthew 15:28: “Then Jesus answered and said to her, ‘O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.’ And her daughter was healed from that very hour.” In the book of Matthew, we see two different people with two different faith levels. 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.” Let’s face it – believing in a God we cannot see and believing that He is who He says He is takes faith! And it pleases God. Why is faith necessary? Because without it, we cannot please God. Without Faith, it’s Impossible to Please God The Bible defines faith as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). That’s faith – being sure of what you’re hoping for – being certain of what you don’t see or experience yet. You are trusting that the chair won’t collapse under you. For example, every time you sit down on a chair, you have faith that the chair will hold you. Lisa Dozier is the executive producer.When you hear the word “faith,” what do you think of?
