Acts 3:16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.

Peter was trying to answer the question, “Why do you believe?” He makes an argument for belief because of the wonders of God stepping in and God making a difference. Things one man took as a chance, a man of faith took as a sign.

A miracle of a loved one recovering from disease, a impossible business deal, or a chance meeting with a long-lost friend, are all miracles that come by faith. It was not the grand doctrines or the sweeping ideals which make believers out of men. It is the simple happenstance of God in the world around them. Living in expectation of God revealing Himself in the everyday is living in faith and by faith.

“The steps of faith falling on the seeming void of nothingness will find the solid rock hidden beneath.”
