Hebrews 11:1 states, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."  This poetic verse simply means that God manifests His glory in our lives, because we trust that His Word is Truth. As Christians, our faith in Christ Jesus strengthens our hearts in weak moments, enlightens our minds during uncertain times, and anchors our souls amid this unstable world. This is why we love God with all our hearts, minds, and souls in obedience to Jesus Christ. Mark 12:30 encourages us, "And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment."
