- Faith is confidence in what we hope for
- Faith is assurance about what we do not see
As Christians we must have confidence in what we hope for – eternal life and assurance that Christ is the way to eternal life even though we cannot see him. In Chapter 3, we will see all three of our hero’s show faith in different ways.
Example 1: Naomi Finds Her Faith
- Naomi shows us that we can trust God even when we are facing difficult challenges. Naomi’s faith reminds that God is faithful to his promises, and he is working all things together for our good. Are you facing a difficult challenge right now? Do you have faith in God to see you through?
Example 2: Ruth’s Faith Drives Out Fear
- Ruth trusts God for her life. What do you fear?
- Here is the good news: you are growing your faith just by listening to Bible Book Club!
- Like Ruth, the more we learn about God, the more we take steps toward him, the greater our faith grows.
Example 3: Boaz’s Steadfast Faith
- What did you have to leave for the chance to follow God?
- A career that interfered with your faith and family?
- A person that threatened to pull you away from your faith because they had no faith?
- A place that tempted you beyond what your faith could bear?
