Why do we teach faith? The greatest reason is found in Hebrews 11:6 EXB: “Without faith no one can please God.” If there were no other reasons, that would be enough, but that verse further explains: “[For; Because] Anyone who comes to God must believe that he ·is real [exists] and that he rewards those who ·truly want to find [earnestly/sincerely seek] him.” So really their are huge benefits from pleasing God in this way. So yes, faith people may be ridiculed and maligned, and it sometimes seems that others would rather we teach doubt and unbelief. In the end that makes no difference, because it’s God we serve and not the shifting views of the critics. Throughout the Bible God always commended people of faith. So let’s join them and press on.
