Faith Must Have Substance
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★FAITH has to have substance. If after a child has lost a tooth,
their parent goes to bed, saying, “I am trusting the tooth fairy
to put a dollar under my son’s pillow,” that’s just wasted
conversation. There’s no such thing as a tooth fairy. There’s
no substance. In order for faith to do something, it must be
based on something. Christians are told to have faith in the
Word of God.
The point
Faith without a real foundation (like believing in the tooth fairy) is ineffective; Christian faith is grounded in God's Word.
