Faith is being sure!

"We talk about faith. What does that word mean? Well, we can hope that a good thing will happen. But faith is not just hoping. Faith is being sure! If we have faith, then we are sure that the good thing will happen. Faith is not just wishing for something. Faith is being sure! Faith is being sure that something will happen. We do not have that good thing yet. We cannot see that good thing yet. But we are sure that it will happen. You need to trust in God. You need to have faith in God. That is the only way to make God happy. Do you want to be close to God? Then you need to know that he is real. You need to know that he is true. You need to know that he will pay attention to you. You need to know that he will come close to you"
(Hebrews 11:1,6, The B-I-B-L-E).

Now God talked in a new way

"Long ago, God sent prophets. The prophets told God's words. The prophets told what was going to happen. That was the way that God talked to the people who came before us. God talked lots of times. God talked in lots of ways. But now, God talked in a new way. God sent Jesus to the earth. Jesus is God's Son. Jesus came to tell God's words. That was God's new way to talk to people..."
(Hebrews 1:1-2a, The B-I-B-L-E).

Our ideas are too small!

"We try to think about how amazing God is. But our ideas are too small. We try to think about the amazing things that God can do. But our ideas are too small. God is greater than any of our ideas. God is stronger than we can think. Maybe we wish to do good things. God will help us do much better than that. Maybe we wish to do important things. God will help us do much better than that. What do you want to do? God will help you do much better things than that. You can only do those amazing things when God is the ruler of your life. God will make you strong. God wil keep on working in your heart" (Ephesians 3:20, The B-I-B-L-E).

God will get you out of every problem

"Do you love God? Then he will hear your prayers. He will take care of you. He will save you when you are in trouble. Do you feel very sad? God will be close to you. Do you feel like you cannot keep on going? God will take care of you. Do you obey God? You will have many problems. But God will help you. He will get you out of every problem" (Psalm 34:17-19, The B-I-B-L-E).
