Does Faith Have a Face?

There are folks that attend church every time the doors are open. There are also folks that never attend church but profess faith. So, which is it? Could it be possible that a person who never goes to church be the most faithful? The first thing to understand is: “The Church” is not a building. Sitting in church no more makes you possess faith than sitting in a cockpit makes you a pilot. However, it can be remarkably faster to acquire faith than a pilot’s license.

But, like any addiction, you must first admit you are a sinner just like the rest of us. We are all sinners. People with faith are no better than anyone else, but we have asked for forgiveness and received it. We didn’t ask our parents, a judge, jury, or the government. We asked God. At its foundation, it’s as simple as that.

The road begins here: Romans 10:13 Romans 6:23

Can you toss out a request to God like a message in a bottle and move on with your life exactly as before? I don’t think anyone reading this is ignorant. When you receive and accept faith you become a changed person and it will be obvious to others.

My Old Excuses For Not Attending Church (Part 4) – The Daily Sinner

Nowhere does the Bible say you must attend a church building to have faith however, It talks about gathering together in His name many times. We draw strength from each other and there is strength in numbers. The Church does many good things in our communities as well as around the world that as an individual, I could not.

A group of born-again, saved Christians is something far above a simple gathering of like-minded people. That collective body of believers, not the buildings they meet in, is God’s holy temple on earth.

So, faith does indeed have a face and it’s pretty easy to spot. You have to make it possible for men to believe in God because they see God in you.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 says: “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” 17 ‘If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy.
