How does Faith relate to the world in which we live in?

Hebrews 11:1

"Now faith is being sure of what you hope for, and certain of what you do not see"

Faith. This is a word that we do not commonly hear in an every day conversation at work, or on the bus, or walking along the street, or even after the church service on sunday. It just doesn't seem to be the highlight of most conversations going on in the world. That seems very odd considering that Faith is the one thing that this world lacks and needs the most.

Our world is corrupted. We think that we have life all figured out. We think that we're sure of what we hope for and want for ourselves, and then we're certain of the fact that nothing in this world whether we can see it or not, knows what is best for us. We make our own plans, and we make our own money, and we love who we want, and we just do what we want to do, and yes we end up becoming rich billionaires, or famous movie stars, and we have everything in the world that you could ever want. And yet, every day all around the world people are committing suicide because none of the stuff that they were sure and certain that they wanted and needed ever seemed like enough. They could not find joy from those things and because they believed that they knew what was right and no one else, they had no one to turn to but themselves and thought that if this was what life was all about: feeling empty, having no one, and knowing that nothing in this world is going to make them happy, then what's the point of living?

So how does Faith relate to the world in which we live in? Well I don't think that that's the question that should be asked, because people have faith in a lot of different things in this world, but never are they rewarded for that faith. That question should be "How does Faith in God relate to the world in which we live in?" And the answer is it relates 100% to the world we are living in. Being sure that the person who created you will take care of you and knows what's best, and being certain that even though you can't see Him, He is definitely there and someone to put your trust in, is the way that every person in this world needs to think. Only then can they find true joy and happiness in life because by trusting and acknowledging God you will then feel His love all around you and never question or think you need something else to live, but instead have Faith that God is the only thing you need in this life. When you have that, you will not only live filled with the Love of God in this world, but you will move on and live for eternity with God in heaven.

The world in which we live needs to know and have this Faith in God.

Faith relates to them because if they don't have Faith in God then they have nothing because it is essential for them to survive in this world. It is our job as Christians in the Lord to be an example of Faith in God to the world and hope that one day they can realize they want to have this sureness and certainty in something that never fails, and that is the Love of God.
