"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."
Faith and doubt—two forces we often struggle with—seem like polar opposites, but have you ever thought of them as companions? The tension between faith and doubt is a natural part of our Christian walk.
Faith, by its nature, requires a leap into the unknown.
Faith asks us to believe in something we can't tangibly prove or understand, which often leaves us teetering on the edge of doubt.
"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."
When you think about mankind, and think about how we are basically selfish, uncooperative, and disrespectful, you have to ask yourself the question, “Why does God love man?” This age-old question can be answered in several ways, but ultimately, it boils down to the nature of God Himself.
God’s love for mankind is a reflection of His own nature. The Apostle John told us in 1 John 4:8 that God is love. Everything He does is motivated by love. Think about that. It isn't because we have earned His love, or that we deserve His love. He loves us because He is love.
