"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Hebrews 11
And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
In the hierarchy of what God wants from us, faith is at the top. Without it, verse 6 says, it’s impossible to please him. Jesus told us even a tiny seed of faith could move mountains and grab the attention of God. So, the burning question is: what is faith?
Joel calls out a recent disaster (locust) and uses it to call the people to repentance and describes what repentance looks like.
