Christianity
lacking in faith is not only sinful but a disastrous dead religion! And everything outside of faith is rebellion against God.
Hebrews 11:
8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called
to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went
out, not knowing where he was going.
9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as
in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with
him of the same promise;
10 for he waited for the city which has
foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 By faith Sarah herself also received
strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age,
because she judged Him faithful who had promised.
12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as
dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude--innumerable as
the sand which is by the seashore.
13 These all died in faith, not having
received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them,
embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 For those who say such things declare
plainly that they seek a homeland.
15 And truly if they had called to mind that
country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to
return.
16 But now they desire a better, that is, a
heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He
has prepared a city for them.
