…
“And without faith it is impossible to please God. For anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.”

To please God,
faith is important❗️
Why is that?
Neither you nor I witnessed 🧐 Jesus' crucifixion ✝️ and resurrection 2,000 years ago.
And yet we believe that these great events happened…😨
…
That is because God the Holy Spirit opened the eyes of our spirits
and enabled us to believe in Jesus❗️
…
Hebrews chapter 11 repeatedly speaks of people acting “by faith”…
Yet there is a famous person whose name is missing…😓
That person is King Solomon❗️
He became king after David…
But he did not fight the battle of faith…
And what is more…🤔
Solomon entered political marriages with women from foreign nations in an effort to avoid wars with neighboring kingdoms…
But in his later years, the one who sought to manage these influences was himself drawn into idol worship…😓
He had 700 wives
and 300 concubines.
…
Because Solomon did not fight the battle of faith…
he does not appear in this chapter.
…
We too sometimes face conflict because of our faith…😓
I think Christians have a line they cannot compromise.
Compromise in faith… if we keep compromising…
we may end up like King Solomon…
and before we know it… ( ´;ﾟ;∀;ﾟ;)
find ourselves joining in idol worship…
Let us walk without being ashamed of being Christians❗️
Shalom 😃
