Faith, Hope and Mobile Ministry
Q: Please let me know what is the difference between faith and hope? Waiting for your kind reply. GBU.
A: Faith is the evidence of substance spiritually felt in us, in the now realm of the things hoped for (Heb 11:6). Hope is a strong confidence that something good will happen to us in the future (Rom 8:24-25). We believe by faith. We trust by hope. Faith is what we have now. Hope is in the future. Faith keeps our spiritual ship running. Hope keeps us in the right direction. Hearing the Word of God fuels faith (Rom 10:17), receiving through the Holy Spirit more and more Joy and peace fuels hope (Rom 15:13). Faith bring the miracle to us, hope makes us walk towards the miracle. For example the lady with a issue of blood for twelve years , "...said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” (Matt 9:21) is hope expressed through words. When the preceding verse says, "And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment.: (Matt 9:20), this is faith in action. Faith is knowing that Abraham Israel will reply and Hope is like "waiting for my reply".
Q: Sending Bible Verses on mobiles are good or not?
A: Sending Bible verses is good as long as we do it only out of our pure love for the Lord JESUS (Matt 10:42). Any other motives that gets mixed with it will taint the GLORIOUS NAME OF THE LORD whom we represent (Phil 1:14-18; 3:18-19). Such tainted motives will make us lose our satisfaction now and reward of God in the future (1 Cor 13:2-3; 2 Cor 5:9-11). Praise the Lord!
