Faith

[Rob Morgan]

"Building a Great life" is about Faith. It's built on the verse of Jude 1:20 Which says, "Build your lives on the foundation of your holy faith."

The foundation of a great life is faith.

What is Faith?

"How faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

Faith is: First believing when I don't see It.

Faith is visualizing the future in the present, it's seeing it in advance, it's being certain of what we do not see.

As human beings we often say things like, "Ill believe it when I see it." And God says, "No, you've got it all backwards. Some things you have to believe it, in order to see it." Whether you're an architect planning a building, or whether you're an artist creating a sculpture, or whether you're an Olympic athlete trying to break a world's record, or whether you're a scientist trying to send a man to the moon, you have to believe it before you can see it. All of those things require faith. You have to believe it's possible in advance, long before it will ever be possible. That's what the Bible says faith is -- believing when I don't see it.

Warner von Braun, the father of the space age, who built the atlas rocket and the saturn rockets that sent men to the moon, once said, "There has never been any significant achievement in human history that was not accompanied by faith." It all started out that somebody believed it was possible, believed it in advance. You have to believe it before it happens.

Faith turns dreams into reality. It is believing before I see it.

But it's far more than that.
