Faith is the key to a successful Christian life.
Faith takes you by the hand and walks you from one level of spiritual maturity
to another. That is why the Word of God says, “Without faith it is impossible to
please God” (Hebrews 11:6).
But what is faith? Where does it come from and how does it work? What does it accomplish? Why does it please God?
In this book, Pastor Chuck Smith explores these questions and a host of others
as they relate to the issue of faith. Using examples from God’s Word, as well as illustrations gleaned from over sixty years in the ministry, Pastor Chuck lays a strong case for faith:
• Faith gives you victory.
• Faith comforts in the midst of fear.
• Faith makes heavy burdens light.
• Faith helps the soul to wait even when God delays.
• Faith sees God’s help is greater than any force that can come against you.
It was faith that led Abraham into the Land of Promise. It was faith that led
the children of Israel through the Red Sea. And it was faith that enabled Peter
to step out of the boat and walk on water.
The question is: What might faith do in you?
Chuck Smith (1927 - 2013)
Pastor Chuck was used in the Jesus People revival where he was used along with others to minister to the hippy young people. They saw a work of the Spirit where many were added to the church and discipled. He has raised up many pastors who are a part of the Calvary Chapel movement now and where he pastors the large Costa Mesa church in California.The Calvary Chapel movement is based of simple principles that Chuck Smith taught over the years such as: The priority of agape love, Simple fellowship amongst the saints, the breaking of bread, the teaching of God's word chapter by chapter and verse by verse. And lastly and most importantly the principle not by might nor by power but by my spirit saith the Lord.
