Leap of Faith (literally for Indi)

Hey guys!

So I was reading in my Bible on...friday, I think, and this passage jumped out at me:
"But let me tell you a wonderful secret God has revealed to us. Not all of us will die, but we will al be tranformed. It will happen in a moment, in the blinking of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, the Christians who have dies will be raised with tranformed bodies. And then we who are living will be transformed so that we will never die. For our perishable earthly bodies must be transformed into heavenly bodies that will never die. When this happens-when our perishable earthly bodies have been transformed into heavenly bodies tha twill never die-then at last the Scriptures will come true: 'Death is swallowed up in victory." 1 Corinthians 15: 51-54

Then I thought, all we have to do is accept Jesus as our savior...and all that transforming applies to us, we'll get to change into something worthy of going to Heaven to be with Jesus. So why can't some people believe this? Why doesn't everyone believe that, so they can go to heaven? I came to the conclusion it is due to faith. There's a Lifehouse song ( I know I'm obsessed with quoting Lifehouse songs!) that says:" I am falling into grace, to the unknown, to where you are and faith makes everybody scared it's the unknown, the don't-know..." How true?

I was watching Indiana Jones-the Last Crusade on saturday. There's a part when he is in the cave containing the the Holy Grail and he has to beat the three security measures to get to the grail. The last one, the path of God, is a cliff. Indiana knows there's NO WAY he could jump the cliff to the other side. However, as Indi discovers, it only looks like there is no path to the other side. To find this path he must take a HUGE leap of faith and step out into what looks like only air. That's kind of what it's like. We just have to close our eyes and trust that God will take care of us. We're all afraid of things we can't see or hear or experience with any of our senses. I think it's a human thing, not trusting what we don't know is absolute by proven fact. Even though we are afraid of faith sometimes, it is a must in a relationship with God. Hebrews 11:1 :"What is faith? It is the confident assurance tha what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evedence of things we cannot yet see." Then: "So, you see, it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him." Hebrews 11:6

Hebrews chapter 11, as mentioned sunday, is the "faith chapter." If you guys get the chance I urge you to read the whole chapter because it has a lot of great examples of faith. So there's a little bit on faith, hope you can derive some useful knowledge from some of that.
