Spirit and Word Fellowship

Again, Hebrews chapter 11 verse one says, you know, faith is the substance of things hoped for. We hope for things in the future. Right? We have that blessed hope that the that the rapture is gonna happen and take us up and to be with the Lord. Right? It's a it's a future event. So hope is always something that's in the future. We're believing for some good thing in the future. We have a future inheritance, you know, in glory. But faith takes what is in the future, right, and brings it into the present, and brings it into the now. Right? Because in heaven, one day, we're all gonna be there. I'm gonna get a new young body. Right? You know? I'm sure I'll be even more handsome. Right? You know, I'm not gonna be there's no sickness. There's no disease. There's no sin. Right? There's no there's no depression or anxiety or any of those things. It's gonna be awesome. Right? Heaven's gonna be awesome. Right? And so we have a hope for that, but faith is always present tense. Faith is never one day. I'm not you don't believe for one day God's gonna do something. That's not faith. You can say all the right words, but that's not faith. Faith is always now. It's always present tense.
