Faith – What is it?

If we are saved by faith and we are, it is important for us to know what faith is; where it comes from; how do we use it; and how do we share it.  A dictionary definition will never give us a complete understanding of what faith is.  The best way to understand faith is to look at scripture.

Inspired by the Holy Spirit, Hebrews records, “What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead.” Hebrews 11:1 (TLB)
