Hebrews 11:1 – “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”

Does Hebrews 11:1 define what faith is or does it reveal the fruit that faith produces? Romans 12:3 reveals that His grace has given “…each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.”

Once we have placed our faith in Jesus Christ, that faith is simultaneously placed in His Word, as there is no separation between the two. For He is the Word in John 1.

The fruit of faith is this, because He first loved us, we love Him and His Word! Choosing to surrender our lives to Him by His Spirit is a faith response to His Word, for He alone has the words of eternal life.

Our intimate relationship with Him means everything to us above all else. A relationship that compels us to take great leaps of faith into arenas in which we do not yet see all that awaits us. Yet, this faith has a deep conviction that Jesus will be in the arena with us when we arrive, regardless of all else.

Friends, due to the fruit of faith, we can be certain, without a shadow of doubt, and with deep-rooted convictions, that what is now a faith-reality will one day be in real-time. For it is as sure as the resurrection of Jesus Christ Himself.

Take a leap of faith, by going all in with your relationship with Jesus as your most intimate friend.
