Faith Pleases God

 

“For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith” 1 Jn 5:4. 

The victory that conquers the world is our faith. Faith is believing God for something future, that cannot be experienced by our five senses now. Faith is the only thing that pleases God. It is simple trust and confidence in God. Being fully satisfied and assured that God is mighty and able to keep His Word and do what He promises. Faith empowers us to grow strong as we give Him praise and glory for His promises.

Unbelief and distrust cause us to waver, doubt, and question God which will result in the weakening of our faith and will eventually lead to death. Satan wants to sift and wear out our faith so we will have no victory or testimony in the world. He accomplishes this by arguing or contending with our spirit in the courtroom of our soul. If he can convince us through sight evidence that the promises of God are not true because of the lack of any visible proof, then we willingly forfeit any victory that God had planned for us.
