Faith isn’t just believing. It’s knowing. We don’t have to be certain about everything in order to be certain in faith. Certainty of faith is certainty of and in God. It’s saying, “I know God” even when I don’t know the answer. It’s replacing our search for answers with a search for the personal God who wants a relationship with us so he can progressively reveal himself to us. Certainty of faith is replacing the “what ifs” with the “who is.” Perhaps you’re not certain about God. You believe you hold the certainties yourself. You’re invited to explore what God reveals about himself. It’s a difficult shift to set your self aside and consider a true frame of reference outside of yourself. It can be difficult to yield control. It can be unsettling. However, if you’re really invested in exploring what faith is, you’re also interested in truth. Truth isn’t something you find. He is a Person who reveals himself to you. Wherever you are in your faith journey, God wants to meet you in your “here” and take you closer. Open your mind. Open your heart. Seek, listen, and grow. Pure Faith is a journey you can take on your own, alongside a friend, or with a small study group. Pure Faith invites you to interact through reflection, journaling, discussion, and applying what you read. Pure Faith is more than what you believe. It’s what you live out loud! Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it. (Hebrews 11:1)
