Hebrews 4:2 “For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being MIXED with faith in them that heard it.”
Someone said, "Faith is like calories. You may not see it, but you can see its results."
Romans 10:17 tells us that “ … faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Notice the connection is a concoction. The one requires the other. If there is no belief, there is no benefit. The mixture matters immensely. If we are to profit from God’s precepts, we must have all the ingredients.
God’s revelation requires the right mixture of FAITH and FACTS. The Bible cannot benefit if it is only held in the hand and not the heart. Both the baker and the scientist realize the importance of proper ingredients. The right mixture is of paramount importance. Our founding fathers realized this too.
John Adams warned his fellow countrymen in 1798 by stating, " Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." Those who say that faith and politics do not mix, are incorrect and ignorant of both history and reality.
Every voter’s faith plays a part at the poll. This November, let us pray it is the right mixture –in more ways that one!
