After the encourager helps us, it still takes faith to keep going. A person with the gift of faith is quick to step in and provide the spark needed to get things going, or to get them going again. Hebrews 11:6 tells us that “without faith it is impossible to please God.” So the person with the gift of faith must really make God smile!
The phrase, without faith it is impossible to please God follows an important verse about faith. I like the NIV translation of Hebrews 11:1.
Faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see.
The person with the gift of faith understands with certain conviction what God can do. Because it is by faith (and not because of their experience or their own human intellect) they can be certain since it is God they are trusting. The person with the gift of faith reminds us that God stands behind His word; that God can be trusted; that God has called us to be part of a great work! Even though circumstances may argue against it, faith looks beyond the immediate details. The gift of faith is given to keep our eyes upon God. It is no surprise then that this lesson on faith end in Hebrews 12:2, reminding us to fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
Conclusion:
Those gifted in faith remind us of the magnitude of God—He can do it! All we have to do is trust Him to do it.
