100 Days to a Healthier Churchनमूना

Day 95 Today’s Big Idea: The God who exists. Nothing happens without faith. But the object of our faith is what matters most. Key Verse: And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him (Hebrews 11:6). Thoughts to Consider: This may be one of the most foundational but overlooked truths of the Bible. If we want to have faith in God, “we must believe that he exists .” Before anything else can happen—before our faith, before the Bible, before the church—there is a God who exists . Since God exists, we don’t get to create Him in our image. He refuses be whoever we want Him to be. God is who He is. Or, as He told Moses, “I am who I am” (Exodus 3:14). Since God actually exists, we can’t create Him in our image. But we do get to discover who God is. That’s what faith is for—to help us discover, know, love, and serve the God who exists, just as He is. It’s popular in some circles to ask, “Who is God to you?” That’s a secondary question at best. Instead, we need to ask, “Who does God say God is?” When we find answers to that question, we’ve found something worth having faith in. What is your faith grounded in? Anything less than the God who exists will not be enough.
