there's some thing you've got to keep harping on.....

Harping! What does that have to do with faith?

What is harping? Harping is persistently and tediously on a particular topic.
I had someone tell me once that I am always "harping on faith." I thought what a great thing to harp on. I wondered, "is faith worth harping on?" It is sweet music to my ears.

So why is faith worth harping on?

And, what is it?

Faith is trust or confidence in someone or something; and a strongly held belief or theory as confidence in God based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.

The Hebrew writer says "What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see. God gave His approval to people in days of old because of their faith." Hebrews 11:1-2.

By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen. Hebrews 11:3

This is great and intense stuff. Take a look around you right now, what you are seeing was formed at God's command and He formed it by nothing you see. Now this is intense.

So, what are we going to do about the "faith thing?" We've either got to believe in God who does things unnaturally or we don't believe in Him.
"But we are not like those who turn their backs on God and seal their fate. We have faith that assures our salvation."
– Hebrews 10:39


"So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith." Ephesians 3:17

Can Christ dwell in us if we don't have faith? Just wondering!

"There is one body and one Spirit – just as you were called to one hope when you were called..... one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all." Ephesians 4: 4-6

Have you ever been ask, " of what faith are you?" This question would not be asked if people only realized the one and only true faith. It is so simply believing in the Good News. And, what is the Good News?

"But you my dear friends, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ told you, that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to enjoy themselves in every evil way imaginable. Now they are here, and they are the ones who are creating divisions among you. They live by natural instinct because they do not have God's Spirit living in them."
–Jude 17-19

"But you, beloved, "building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit." Jude 20

What is holy faith?

Holy is being dedicated or consecrated to God. In other words build on the foundation with a sacred faith in dedication and consecration to God.

There will be some whose faith is wavering. What do we do then? Those with holy faith will show mercy to those "wavering" faith folks. You will snatch some from the flames of judgment. Still there are others who you will need to show mercy, and the ones with holy faith be careful that you aren't contaminated by their sins."
–Jude 20-23

keep on 'keeping on' 'harping' on faith...... sweet music for the soul......
