God, His Word and faith are deeply connected because to know God, you have to read His Word and His Word translates faith and faith is needed to run life's race. In Hebrews 11:6, Paul writes that without faith, it is imposible to please God because whoever should come to God must believe that He exists and He is a rewarder of everyone that diligently seeks Him. The verse is really true and applicable.
Everyone must have heard that there is a God because it is evident in His creations; the sun, the moon, stars, the whole of nature testifies to the reality of the living God. Even we human beings are beautiful creations of God and we are one of His greatest creations because He put His Spirit in us and that is what makes us who we are. So God created us for His glory and He definitely didn't want us to be confused at any point in our lives on the Earth; He knew we would have many questions about life like who created us, who created the world and all these beautiful things we see so He provided His Word for us.
This Word also called the Bible or the Torah is a compilation of 66 books written by 40 men and most importantly, inspired by the same Holy Spirit Who is also God. The Bible is not just a book of 'stories, guides for living and prophecies concerning the future', it is a book that contains everything needed to be known about your Creator, how to build a tangible and intimate relationship with Him, life after death because there is life after death and His kingdom which is to be established on Earth. The Bible is the absolute truth that we need to know because It speaks; God speaks through His Word and guess what, no one can understand the Word without the illumination and help of the Holy Spirit Who is the Author of the Word and also God Himself.
Christianity in the Bible was called ' the Faith' because being a true Christian requires faith and faith which only God the Father gives. The Bible places emphasis on faith in many verses; It even has a whole chapter dedicated to faith. The chapter is Hebrews 11 and it tells stories of people who put their faith in God and were not disappointed at the end. They kept an unwavering faith in God and their testimonies are still being told today to encourage people.
The Bible and faith are connected because the Bible gives you knowledge about God and the Holy Spirit makes gives insight, revelation and makes the Word believable to us. This then builds your faith in God. You actually cannot have faith in God without reading His Word and not only reading but also applying the Word in your daily activities. The Word of God Itself was intended for our spirits and not our bodies. In Romans 8:16, Paul writes that the Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. It is our spirit that knows that God is real and also accepts the Word of God.
In conclusion, to go to God, you must have faith and to build your faith in God, you have to read His Word because Romans 10:17 says "faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God". You need the Word of God to build your faith in Him and you need faith to live and finish this Life's race well. Habakkuk 2:4 says that the just shall live by his faith in God. Faith in God and the promises in His Word for your life on Earth and in eternity is very vital for all human beings because without God the Author and Finisher of our faith, we all are nothing.
