Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
[4] One system is predicated on believing God at His word, while the other requires proof for everything, before one believes. Persons who crave and demand proof for everything before they believe will most likely never believe for they are operating on the finite scientific system and man-made science does not believe, it proves. But, in the same breath, the same mindset embraces the theory of evolution, which has never been proven.
On the contrary, persons who are grounded in the Godly system, takes Jesus at His word, long before there is proof and thus, these two opposing systems often set up a feud between fools and wisemen. In other words, with the believer the proof is in the pudding, with the pudding being God’s word, which is understood as the final authority on all matters.
[The Great Controversy pp 595] God will have a people upon the earth to maintain the Bible, and the Bible only, as the standard of all doctrines, and the basis of all reforms. The opinions of learned men, the deductions of science, the creeds or decisions of ecclesiastical councils, as numerous and discordant as are the churches which they represent, the voice of the majority,—not one or all of these should be regarded as evidence for or against any point of religious faith. Before accepting any doctrine or precept, we should demand a plain “Thus saith the Lord” in its support.
Hebrews 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 a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
