Faith

I always had this question, and no-one could ever answer it fully. The question was this, how do we (christians) know that our religion and beliefs are right when there are so many other religions who "know" (think)  that they're right?
Confusing, right?
Well, my youth leader answered it for me, and it sounded pretty simple! We need to have faith. What is faith? Faith is believing in something you can't physically see. So we need to believe that our God is God and our beliefs are right!I never had huge doubts about God but I just wanted to know the answer to my question, and I'm so glad that I got the answer! I really believe that no matter how many problems we face we need to have faith in our glorious father. He will grant us peace and help us through everything that hits us in the face.
I know that it can be hard to believe in something you cannot see but we can see him in other ways. When we walk through town or go for a cycle, God is all around us, he made everything. He wanted to make flowers pink, purple or blue, he wanted to make the grass green and it was his idea to make man who then made cars etc. He is in everything we touch or do. We can also see God through the bible. It can be so difficult to read even a chapter or a verse of your bible but he's in there and waiting to be discovered and thought about. He wants his children to believe and know that he is God. Some poeple think and may argue that the bible is a dusty old book with nothing to do with modern life and it is not relative. Do you agree with this? Think about it.. if you're not sure go and look in your bible and hopefully you'll find that it IS relative and  DOES have stuff to do with everything!

Just have faith and be patient,

Jesus is Christ, 'Christ' is in 'Christian', we are Christians. We come from God, our father.

Matthew 17:20  He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

1 Peter 1:21  Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

2 Corinthians 5:7  We live by faith, not by sight.
