Luther once wrote: “Faith takes hold of Christ and has Him present, enclosing Him as the ring encloses the gem.” The idea that we hold faith because faith holds us, and that faith holds us because faith holds Christ, is vital. We hold faith as we seek to know Christ better, exploring Christian doctrines and deepening our understanding of the impact and relevance to our day-to-day lives. Faith holds us as we respond to Christ's calling, negotiate life's challenges, and join in the work of bringing in God's kingdom. The book conveys the content of core Christian doctrines and then addresses the “so what?” of each, its take away, how it matters to our everyday living, and how it shapes our spiritual and ethical practices. Using theological literature and Scripture but also current events, sociology, fiction, and movies, the author shows that theology matters. It matters to our lives and it matters to the life of the world. How we understand theology and its core beliefs has an impact on who we know ourselves to be and how we relate to God and to one another.Holding Faith concretely shows how various and diverse understandings of particular doctrines play out in relation to the way lives are lived and ethical systems put forward. It holds that some approaches to Christian doctrine are preferable to others, making persuasive arguments for better approaches by drawing from the theological literature and also from the news, sociology, general literature, and movies. Scripture is consistently used and sourced throughout the book as arguments are developed.

Faith is the only means by which the invisible is made tangible. It therefore forms the basis of the believer's relationship and association with God because He is unseen. The believer's conflict arises because he must somehow learn to "look beyond what he can see." Wavering faith is tantamount to calling God a liar, and deeming Him untrustworthy. The believer must therefore be convinced that his God cannot lie, in order to remove doubt and strengthen his faith. God's inability to lie has more to do with the creative power of His words than His righteousness. Faith is perfected by action; it dies of loneliness if not accompanied by works. Faith is to the spiritual realm what money is to the natural realm; faith is therefore the currency of the Kingdom of God. This fact therefore results in a redefinition of the concept of wealth. Abraham and his seed were predestined by God as the only recipients of blessings from God on the earth. Direct descendants of Abraham are blessed because of their lineage, while Non-Jews are blessed because of their faith whereby they were adopted as the seed of Abraham and made heirs of the promises of God. This book will undoubtedly increase your faith and facilitate your transition into the abundant life that Jesus Christ came to make available to His believers.

From the time I was a little sickly five-year-old child, I have often wondered how is it that some people seem to be not as affected emotionally as others when things that they were holding on to start to go away. This book gives you a clear understanding that those things you are holding on to may not be what God wants you to keep holding on to. Your victory depends on placing your hope in him. It will allow you to see that if your hope and the time that you put in your hope are not in him and those things that are above, then you could be wasting your time. And who do you know that would like to spend their time holding on to something that will not produce any good thing? That's what this book is about.

Furthermore, confessions and creeds serve to help assure that the doctrinal faith that we articulate today has not subtly changed over time, subject to the warping influence of secular society. Creeds stand as ancient landmarks denoting the "location" of believers' hearts in history. Noting where one deviates from an ancient creed gives a person a distinct idea about where his or her own theological convictions stand in relation to other believers throughout history. Perhaps this also helps us to discover what direction we are moving. Are we moving closer to Christ? To God's Word? To the heart of God Himself? Or are we moving further away? The confession that I will be recommending to you in this volume is the standard-bearing creed in the Presbyterian or Reformed branch of Christianity. Influenced heavily by the thinking of Reformation theologian John Calvin (1509-1564), the Westminster Confession (1647) is a confessional exemplar of Reformed theology.2 The Westminster Confession of Faith is the premiere example of theological intellectualism absorbed in the beauty of the sovereignty of God. The Westminster Confession, and Calvin before it for that matter, were both completely committed to the theological concept that God is sovereign over the entire universe. Therefore, as you study this Confession you will undoubtedly encounter the Living God as ruler of the cosmos, the world, the events of your life, and hopefully your heart.
