Childlike Faith 2-2-09

I am very sorry because I was told to do this topic just like 3 hours ago so hopefully God can give me the inspiration.

Theme Verse: Proverbs 16:6
6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the LORD a man avoids evil.

As a little kid, we never really had many experience through life. As times go by, we can see that we are maturing slowly. In the same way, when we first become a child of God, we had this faith (or trust in God). As we first started, our faith is really small. If Satan like give you some kind of temptation, you will easily fall into the trap. Even if we have such childlike faith, God will give us many opportunities to grow our childlike faith. Can you think of something in your life that you are struggling with? Sometimes don't you just ask God why He puts it in our life? The reason is because God wants our childlike faith to grow as much as possible. Through experience like temptations and trials, we get to grow and grow more like Christ.

Like our theme verse, it is saying that our love and trust in God satisfied our sin because Jesus Christ has died for ALL our sin. Through the holy respectful/fearing of the Lord, a person will try to avoid their evil sin and temptation. (Hopefully I translated the verse right.)

Are you growing from a childlike faith to an adult faith?
