Present Faith

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. (Hebrews 1:1-2)

God has often said in His Word that we should remember many things that He has said and done; also, to hope about many things to come. That is things in the past, and things in the future. They shape our present, faith.

It is the faith (in Christ) that we hold onto in the present time, which saves us for the life to come. This saving faith is important, and it has never been blind.

Do you want to understand this hope and a future? We must know His Word about what He has done in the past, and what He promises in the future. Only then can faith be lived out, in the present.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11)
