“I thank Representative Miller for yielding. I want to talk about faith. What is faith? Thankfully, the Bible contains a clear definition in Hebrews 11:1. It says: Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. So faith is trusting in something you cannot explicitly prove. Trust is actually relying on the fact that something is true. This biblical definition of faith doesn't only apply to salvation, which is God's gift to us, but to the rest of our Christian life. We are to believe what the Bible says and we are to obey it. That is called living by faith. We are to believe the promises of God, we are to agree with the truth of God's word, and we are to be transformed by it. Hebrews 11:6 says: Because without faith, it is impossible to please God. Without faith, we cannot be saved. Without faith, the Christian life cannot be what God intends it to be. Without faith, I wouldn't be standing in this Chamber today representing the precious people of the First District of Tennessee. Without faith, I wouldn't be able to share a hopeful message with this great Nation that if God be for us, who shall be against us? Faith knows that no matter what the situation is in our life or someone else's life that the Lord is working within that situation for their good and His glory. Perfect faith is simply taking God at His word.”
