Hebrews 11:29 KJV
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
There are some things that just should never be attempted without faith! Israel crossed the Red Sea through faith and was saved. Egypt tried to cross the same Red Sea just moments after Israel did, and they were drowned. The difference, according to the Bible; was faith.
Moses attempted once to deliver Israel from Egypt and failed. Forty years later he did it again and was successful. The difference was faith.
Saul tried to lead Israel as their first king. His attempt led to the deaths of himself and his sons in battle. David stepped in as king and was very successful; to the point that one of his offspring (Jesus) will sit on that throne eternally. The difference was faith.
Paul was used of God in miraculous ways. But when the seven sons of Sceva attempted to cast out a demon in the name of "Jesus whom Paul preacheth" they were run off beaten of the demon. The difference was faith.
There is a difference between serving the Lord through faith and doing what the Bible says we should without it. There is
A difference between teaching a Sunday school class through faith and doing it without faith.
A difference between pastoring a church through faith and doing it for other reasons.
A difference between obeying the righteous message of the Bible through faith and obeying it in hopes of earning salvation because of it.
And the difference could be deadly.
