Acts 3:6
Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." (NKJV)
Over the centuries gold has had great value in this world, but it cannot compare to the value of faith--faith is of greater worth than gold (1Peter 1:7). When Peter encountered the crippled man at the gate begging for gold or silver, Peter offered him something much better-- faith in Christ. Through faith in Christ, the man was healed.
Faith is so important in our lives, for without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). We receive faith by hearing the Word of God, and it is through faith that we are saved. It is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8). Don't forget, in Heaven gold is just pavement.
