Faith that lasts is having confidence, peace, and courage to live life’s challenges, trusting in Jesus, God’s son. As we live our day-to-day existence in the world, we know we are not alone. Despite the different thinking of cultures, religions, and governments, God is greater than all. After all, he who created all things from nothing can keep all things by his power.

Faith that lasts means real confidence comes from Jesus and not from people alone. Even so, family, friends, teachers, bosses, and co-workers can lift us, but Jesus saves our lives now and forever. After all, having confidence in someone who is divine and has the power to save your soul from trouble now and forever is worth trusting.

Faith that lasts with peace is being aware of who governs all things. Besides creating days, nights, weeks, months, and years, Jesus, God’s son, governs the sun, moon, universe, and planets. Also under Jesus’ rule are angels, people, demons, nature, weather, and seasons; there is no need to be stressed.

Faith that lasts is to be without fear of disasters that are out of our control. Courage brings a troubled, free heart about things happening in the world; Jesus said things are just running their course to the end. Unlike fear, courage is braving the storms of life knowing Jesus is with us. As much as we are safe because he is the one with the power and a better plan for all who believe in him.
