What is Faith ?

Dusty · 04-08-2008, 02:28 PM

Hebrews 11 :1 Faith is the substance of things hoped for , evidence of things not seen.

Substance...... Like a title deed

Your faith is your title deed to eternal life. Just as a title deed is evidence of real-estate, so your faith is evidence of your eternal estate in God.

We look to Jesus as our example of Faith.
Faith is more than belief in God, It is also a way of life. Heroes of the faith , although imperfect, trusted God and gave their lives to Him.

The greater your cares the more genuine your prayers
The darker the room , the greater the need for light.
For faith with no effort is no faith at all

Thank you, Dusty~
Faith is something I've practiced alot of lately.

Thank you, Dusty!!!

Faith is a strong belief in something that you know is true - but haven't yet seen.

I have never seen the dark side of the moon myself. But I know it's there. I have faith that since there is a side of the moon that always faces the earth, the dark side of the moon has to be on the other side.

I have faith that the air around me will sustain me with each breath. I've never seen it, I can't reach out and touch it...but I believe strongly that it's there because I can inhale deeply and feel it.

Amen , Whirlwind and Violet. again faith is given to us in the measure that God thinks we can handle.

We know that without faith we cannot enter God's rest nor be pleasing to Him. Truly His eyes move to and fro over the face of the whole earth to show Himself strong on the behalf of those who heart is perfect (complete and mature) towards Him. Faith is the key which God gives us to loose His promise upon this earth.

faith is knowing Jesus will makes us happy.faith is that the place we will live,will be joyfull place to live,faith is reading Gods words and promises and believing truth.faith is that God looks out for you and helps you,faith is God watches all and helps all.faith is not understanding ,but knowing God does things for a reason.in the olden times men would have lots wives etc,God says have none or 1,them people would not understand why God said this.but had the faith to do so.without faith nobody would have a reason for living.
