For Kids

Did you know that faith is acting upon your belief in God? That is correct we cannot see God but we believe, his promises are more real than anything we can touch or see. This has always been God's way, and this is how he saves mankind. Throughout the Bible there were heroes of faith like Abel, and Noah, and Abraham, and many more. These men were heroes because they believed in the unseen promises of God. Faith is God's gift to you my friend. Ask God today to increase your faith, do not sit idle but act right now upon God's promises. Take advantage of the opportunity that is in front of you and don't look back.
