Job 19:25 “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that
he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.”
Where there is uncertainty there cannot be peace, and certainty
is evident by one’s faith. We know this according to (Heb 11:1) – faith is the confidence/assurance
that what we hope for will truly happen; giving us evidence about the things we
cannot see.
Faith that can only exist in the light of victory and seen certainty
is one which really affirms self while pretending to affirm Jesus, for it only
follows in the belief that Jesus has conquered death. Yet a faith that can look
at the horror of the cross and still say “yes” is one that says “no” to self.
One’s faith towards God through Jesus must be sure and steadfast,
that it may bring joy to the conscience, and placing it in peace. When a man has this certainty, he overcomes
the dependence of self and the lies of the serpent; but if he is doubtful or
unknowing of the doctrine, it is for him very dangerous to live with “self.”
Faith is the evidential certainty that God is in control of everything,
and thus our peace!
