Heb. 11:6- But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is the Rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
For many faith has been defined in so many ways, they still don’t have a grasp on what the proper definition of faith is. Moreover, unfortunately, they may not understand how to use it, or how it works, or how it increases. To add to one’s problem I will not seek to do. The best theological definition of faith to me is, “To be fully persuaded by the Word of God.” What is my reasoning behind this? Simple. To be fully persuaded is to be confident in what God has said. The action of faith is believing; therefore, you must be convinced of what has been said by God in order to act upon it! Saying you have faith without showing your works by your faith means you don’t have faith at all. Are you convinced by God’s Word? Are you walking, talking, and thinking like you have what you have asked for even though you do not see it?
Seeking God is studying, meditating on, obeying, trusting in, relying on, and resting solely upon His Word. When we do these things—our faith will increase. Though it may start as a mustard seed, it will grow into our most powerful attribute (Matt. 13:31-32). Faith without works is dead (James 2:17-26). How do I know my faith is growing? You may say. Faith comes by hearing (Rom. 10:17). And when you hear God’s Word be fully persuaded of everything it says, and then believe it! My friend, do you realize without faith it is impossible to please Him? Focus on His Word, and your faith will grow!
