“Now faith is the assurance (substance) of things hoped for, the proof (evidence) of things not seen.”

Faith isn’t optional—it’s foundational.

Conclusion & Call to Action:
How deep are your roots in Christ?
Can a person or situation easily uproot you from everything you know to be true about God’s Word?
If you’re swayed by every new doctrine, movement, or opinion, it’s time to check your foundation. The Bible says faith comes by hearing—and hearing by the Word of God. Your roots must go deep if you want to stand strong.
Ask yourself:
-
Are more of my roots planted in Christ or in the world?
-
Am I being fed by the Living Water or fooled by the enemy?
You cannot be deeply rooted in Christ and the devil at the same time. Choose this day whom you will serve. God desires your whole heart so you may have eternal life. The enemy only wants to destroy your soul.
WALK, LIVE, THINK by FAITH in God.
It truly is impossible to please Him without it.
