Faith

Faith
A Principle of action through 
which power is attained from Heaven

Faith is quite possibly the single most important principle to success in our lives and in the gospel. It is what holds everything else in life together and what keeps us going even when things seem impossible. It isn't simply believing or hoping. It is knowing. And, living life without faith, specifically in the Lord Jesus Christ, is like trying to run up a staircase in the middle of the night with a cup full of water and no lights. When we begin to have faith in our Savior and his servants, it is as if we turned the light on at the top of the stairs. Everything seems easier and more natural. I know that when we choose to have faith in our Savior Jesus Christ and His love for us, He will take our hands and guide us where we need to go. 

"Yes, faith is a choice, and it must be sought after and developed. Thus we are responsible for our own faith. We are also responsible for our lack of faith. The choice is yours... Choose faith over doubt, choose faith over fear, choose faith over the unknown and the unseen, and choose faith over pessimism." 

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen"

"But without faith it is impossible to please him"

"by faith, all things are fulfilled..."


Faith can do anything and everything!

Bronwen I love how you say that with Christ everything is more natural! I totally feel like things are the way they're supposed to be when He's a part of my life!
