Faith Is the Substance

April 12, 1947 ·Oakland, CA · English
§44
What does it mean that faith is 'the substance of things hoped for'?

My Scripture lesson tonight said, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” See, it’s a substance, it’s something direct, something that you really have, not something that you imagine, something that you think you have, but it’s some direct, positive act that you have. You see what...

§52
Does having faith to be healed depend on how well a person serves God?

I’ve seen many people come by, lovely people, real Christians, but didn’t have enough faith to be healed, and some sinner pass by and has the faith to be healed. See? It’s another element altogether. It’s not how well you serve God, it’s an element that you possess yourself. Now, I want you to see this because it’s for...

§146
Why did the people fail to recognize Moses as the deliverer God sent them?

§161
What happens if a person is healed and then goes back to sin?
