Faith is not futuristic but in the now.

Faith is not futuristic as most people think but a present hour reality in the life of a christian.It is the title deed (Hebrews 11:1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen) with which a believer possess his possession.In the secular circle,faith is seen as trust in somebody's ability or knowledge that somebody/something will do what has been promised.

The christian faith like I have mentioned above is not an expectation or a believe but a statement of fact.The bible more this lucidly clear in Hebrews 11:6
                     But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is                   a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

This does not in any way express a future expectation but a condition preceedent,a consideration that must be furnished if we must please the Almighty God and no wonder the Bible said that the Just shall live by faith alone (Habakkuk 2:4).This is even more so because He (Jehovah) is a Faith-God as He is the greatest demonstrator of faith as He exhibited when He created the Universe as contained in Hebrews 11
                  3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
