WHAT FAITH IS
 
CRYSTAL   Sandy, what is faith?
 

SANDY       In the Bible, in Hebrews 11:1, it says, “Now faith is the substance

                   of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Let’s first

                   talk about what it means by “evidence of things not seen.” Crystal,

                   I want you to close your eyes and tell me if I’m still here.

 
CRYSTAL   I can’t close my eyes.
 
SANDY       Oh, I forgot! Turn around to where you can’t see me. (Crystal

                   turns around) Do you believe that I’m still here?

 
CRYSTAL   Yes, because I can hear your voice.
 

SANDY       Then, when you couldn’t see me, you had faith that I was still here.

                   We have faith in God because of His Word. The Word is proof of

                   God. Do you know of other things that prove that God exists?

 

CRYSTAL   Seeing  the love of Jesus in a Christian’s life proves it!

 

SANDY       Very good! Now let’s talk about the part of that verse that says

                   “the substance of things hoped for.” If I say I’m going to give you

                   a candy bar, would you believe it?

 
CRYSTAL   Yes!
 

SANDY       The candy bar is a thing that you hoped for. Do you know of

                   anything in the Bible that Christians hope for?

 
CRYSTAL   The soon return of Jesus Christ! 
 
SANDY       That’s right!
 

CRYSTAL   Oh, Sandy, speaking of candy bars, I’m hungry for one!

                  

SANDY       Me, too! Let’s go to my hose and have some! (Both exit)
