"Faith is more than just an attitude of the mind; faith is the complete, passionate, earnest trust of our whole nature in the Gospel of God's grace as it is presented in the Life and Death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ." -Oswald Chambers, "Our Brilliant Heritage".
Speaking of faith in Christ, it is more than just a trust in the fact that what Christ said is true, it is trust in Him to the core of our being, trust in who He is, what He did, and its' outcome in our own life and the life of the whole world. It is a trust that covers all circumstances that unfold in our life and times that His Gospel is true and His grace is sufficient both in the healing of past hurts or reconciling past failings, and, in present power to be His witnesses through the Spirit He has sent to dwell in us.
That is good to know since times are changing. Changing toward what end? That remains to be seen in the short run, but, in the long run, changing toward that which God has promised, for which even all creation groans - the appearance of the Man of God and the establishment of His rule of love and holiness throughout the earth within and without.
