The Goal of Our Faith
DEFINITION:
Faith is not belief without seeing, but trust without
reservation.
The goal of faith is twofold:
- Faith first seeks to please
God.
- Secondly, faith seeks to
give, not to get.
Faith Seeks
to Please God
Foundation of
Faith
Hebrews 11:6
That which
pleases God is for us both to believe and to do according to his word.

- 1 Kings 3:9-10
- Psalm 69:30-31
God rewards those who diligently seek
him.
This does not
mean that God caters to those who diligently seek stuff!

Not Our Plan
God still
does not honor our plan.
- Before we come to God we try to convince him we have an
equally good plan.
- After we come to God we try the same tactics in
Jesus’ name.
