Just curious, is your experience with God missing something? Does it leave a bad taste in your mouth. Could you be missing that one thing that brings it all together? I'm talking about faith. It is that one special must have ingredient that makes it all great! I don't care how much religion you have, until you add faith, there is nothing that great. But adding faith to something that doesn't exist, is not faith at all but foolishness. It leaves your soul empty and desperate for something more. Now add some Faith in a living God that does exist, now now your talking about something great!
So, what do you get when you add faith in the right God? You get the "aha!" moment of "that's it, that is what I have been looking for, that is all I needed." Maybe you are asking, "what is it that makes the aha click." That's simple, you receive the Holy Spirit within your heart and soul. You literally have the one true God living within you, affirming each and every moment of each and every day, that He is alive and He is great!
Ephesians 2:8 for it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
Acts 2:38 Peter replied, " repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
God does not need your faith to make Him great, you do. He is great no matter where you place your faith. Just like an airplane does not need your faith to fly, neither does God. You need the faith that the plane will fly so you will get on it to begin with. You want to experience God, then add a little faith and jump right in.
Hebrews 4:2 For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith.
May my life be the proof and evidence of His Love!
