Use Your Faith to Inspire Others
How You Can Use Your Faith to Inspire Other People
God is an on-time God. He may not come when we want him, but he will arrive in his perfect timing. Many of us have faith as a foundation in our lives. God has brought us through countless trials and hardships. We are living testimonies of his goodness and mercy, because he opened doors that seemed shut forever. He made a way for us regarding our finances, relationships, employment, health, and in other areas of our lives. Let us stay faithful and use our faith to inspire others.
The first step is to define faith.
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)
The second step is to focus on Jesus.
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)
Next, encourage others to persevere through difficulties.
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4 (NIV)
The fourth step is to combine faith with action.
"What good is it my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." James 2:14-17 (NIV)
Finally, remind others that faith pleases God.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)
