Faith & Spirituality
Faith, as understood within the HolyJot community, is more than just belief—it is a deep, abiding trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and the promises of God found in Scripture. Rooted in Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen,” faith is the foundation of our walk with God. It means trusting in His character, surrendering to His will, and believing in His Word even when the path ahead is unclear.
