Our Type of Evidence

We talked throughout this week about EBC (Evidence-Based Christianity), but that does not mean living a life of Faith implies we should live life walking in the dark with nothing tangible to hold on to.

God has given us an Evidence for all times and for all seasons. An Evidence to keep us in our moments of weaknesses and doubt.

“Well, Greg, what’s the Evidence?”

Sorry, I think you skipped it while reading to this point. It’s that small, five-letter word that begins with an ‘F’; have you seen it now?  That’s the type of evidence we have.

Heb 11:1 says, “Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

OK, I’m aware that’s one of the most quoted verses in scripture, but look at what it actually says:

“Now faith is…the EVIDENCE of things not seen.”

The evidence that the miracle you’ve prayed for but have not seen yet, is your Faith. That’s why some translations call it a “title deed”. You could also see your faith as your receipt.

When you order for a laptop online, you don’t go around looking at other people’s laptops to encourage yourself that yours is coming; no, you look at your digital receipts. And when the order is been delayed, do you say, “What do you know, my laptop’s not coming after all.”? No! You go back to the company and ask what’s going on. (And what’s the first thing they’d ask for when you make a complaint? You guessed it, your RECEIPT).

In the same vein, we shouldn’t be looking at what other people have or don’t have to know whether our miracle is coming. No! We look to our God in faith; because that’s all the evidence we need.

AMEN.

More Blessings await you today; you’ll not miss them in Jesus’ Name.
