* Luís Alberto Alves
It was by faith that Abraham, responding to the call, obeyed and departed to a land which he was to inherit and departed without knowing where he was going "(Hebrews 11,8). Only those who believe, trust. The person of faith obeys and responds to God, even without having human and material safeguards, because, like Abraham, it is necessary to walk in faith towards the heavenly homeland, which is heaven.
It was by faith that even Sarah, despite her old age, was able to have a seed, because she considered the author of the promise faithful (Hebrews 11,11). Faith makes us persevere in the promises of God, because nothing is impossible with God.
And finally, the initiator and finisher of the faith, Jesus Christ, is the example par excellence of a person of faith, and it is in him that we find the fullness of what we must believe and accomplish. Thus, it is through the obedience of faith to the Christ that we can give answers to God. Even without seeing, we believe, because Jesus himself says: "Blessed are those who believe and have not seen" (Jn 20,29).
