The Substance of Faith

THE SUBSTANCE OF FAITH: [Man's Dependability on GOD's Credibility] AN OVERVIEW OF THIS BOOK This is the second book by the born again Christian author, who - as a qualified teacher, HR Management professional and experienced trainer - has over 30 years experience within business, voluntary and church sectors. This book discusses the several components of the Christian believer's faith, who in taking GOD at His Word can exercise faith strong enough to move and remove mountains as The Holy Bible says. This book also examines the congruence of GOD's Credibility and His Character as it relates to faith and the believer. Ostensibly in the 21st Century, the persona of a 'media celebrity' in the all-absorbing pursuit of fame is often about pre-supposed credibility; a credibility that is built on portraying a carefully crafted reputation and illusory characteristics. Conversely, GOD's Reputation (what He is famed for and what GOD says about Himself) is based on GOD's Character (the essence of who He truly is). It is reasonable to conclude then, that GOD's Credibility is rooted in His authentic 'Reputational-Character' as it is evidence of GOD being who He says He is, and doing what He says He can do. Division One of this book is an explicatory preview, which as a pretext to Division Two gives the reader a foundation of faith's source, substance and stance. Division Two of this book is an exploratory view in its direction, within a study of how faith's uncompromising nature provides a context of faith at work in the life of the believer. Division Three of this book presents an experiential review, looking at the purpose of faith and how activating faith's power can merit it's perpetuity, as a principle for Godly living in the believer's life. This book also discusses the Godly Heroes and Sheroes listed in the Roll Call of the Hall of Faith. Who despite their imperfections, their strong faith in GOD empowered them to go through trials with superhuman endurance. It is the author's expectation that your faith will increase to the higher dimension of faith that GOD desires. Adopting a didactic writing style of progressively unfolding revelatory information coupled with the incorporation of frequent alliterative and acronymic teaching mode for ease of reading, this book is like no other, and a must-read for your home and study library! EXCERPTS FROM THIS BOOK - Faith's intangibility and invisibility does not deny, diminish or defy its evidence or existence. - Because faith is the evidence of the unseen, it means we possess a firm spiritual perception which supersedes the finite realities of this world. - Through the lenses of faith we see GOD's Credibility, which is proof of the authenticity of GOD's Character and His Word. Faith conjoined to credibility proves GOD's trustworthiness and integrity towards Man[kind]. - It is significant to note that The Credible GOD made an unretractable covenant with Abraham in His Own Name and by His Own Divine Self, as this was the greatest and only [universally] reliable 'thing' GOD could swear [up]on. - Faith therefore, incriminates the believer into testifying of GOD's power, presence, purpose and pre-eminence as The Almighty GOD, the El Shaddai, for whom nothing is impossible!! - Our faith in GOD compounds The Truth and The Truthfulness of GOD. - Faith gives GOD the material, namely 'the substance' whereby He can supply the believer with the things that they hope for!
