1st Peter 1:8Wrench

BACK NEXT

You love Yahshua, 😇.
Yet you've never [physically] seen him [as I have].
Still, you [do unusually good works because you] believe in him.
[So even enduring persecution,] jump [up and down] with unspeakable glorious joy.

Faith

Note: Faith = acting on a hypothesis you can't directly test with the 5 senses.
We can't see YAH and Yahshua.
This fact gives atheists a perfect excuse not to believe.
But YAH's invisibility does not preclude us from testing the effects of obeying His commandments.
In seeing the amazing results of obeying, we develop faith.
Without obedience, faith is just a fantasy.
True believers jump for joy.
False ‘believers’ rot with butt-cancer from sitting constipated in church pews.
