Main Idea: Putting your faith in Jesus is like sitting in a chair.
Verse: “Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6 NKJV).
Illustration: (Point to a chair) Do you believe that this chair exists? Do you believe this chair will support you if you sit in it? You can believe that a chair exists and you can believe that the chair is capable of supporting a person’s weight, but until you actually sit down in the chair you have not actually put your faith in the chair. Putting your faith in Jesus Christ is like sitting down in a chair. You demonstrate that you believe the chair can hold you when you sit down in it, and you show that you have faith in Jesus when you trust Him to save you from your sins.
