Faith as Evidence

Faith as Evidence

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11: 1)

Scientists never confirm the validity of a principle or proposition until that which is under consideration is objectively observable and independently replicable. In other words, according to science, nothing is real unless someone besides you is able to see it and do it!

This is the very reason why faith and science often bump heads. The scientist can’t see what the person of faith declares and the person of faith refuses to deny what the scientist can’t see.

This conflict can be resolved when we recognize that having faith is not an excuse for an inability to see. Instead, faith is simply another way of seeing. As such, faith becomes the evidence of things seen with spiritual eyes and not seen by the instruments of science or commonly accepted fact. It becomes our proof that the impossible is possible.

When all you have is faith, just know that your evidence is not inferior. Faith is the reason you know it. Faith is the reason you believe it. Faith is the reason you will receive it. Case closed!
