1 | Define Faith. | Heb 11:1 | RElderCascade | 34280 | ||
May I add a small thought here? This is not intended to directly answer the very important question put to define the nature of faith, it is instead a hope to expandon the importance of the question and will indirectly shed some light on the question. The Bible commonly makes an appeal to the Christian to ask God to "help us in our unbelief". Or put another way to "grow our faith". Now, since faith is a gift from God we are to excersize a gift that has been given us. The implication for acting from unbelief is sin and the implication for acting from faith is righteousness. God is pleased when we rely on Him for ALL of the concerns of life. And conversely God is not pleased when we reject Christ and rely on our own understanding or our own flesh rather than the only one who God ever stated .."my Son.. with Him am I well pleased". No one in all of history has ever had that said of them. Faith pleases God because it is grounded in Christ our matchless Saviour! |

3 | Define Faith. | Heb 11:1 | RElderCascade | 34331 | ||
You have done well. Define Faith... I would like to only add that faith is belief, trust and it demands an object. That one has faith is less important than that object of one's faith. Paul wrote in Phillipians "I know whom I have believed". | ||||||
4 | Define Faith. | Heb 11:1 | Lionstrong | 34450 | ||
Agreed! The object of saving faith is God and the promises of God's Good News! Rom 4:17-22 (as it is written, "A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS HAVE I MADE YOU") in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist. In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, "SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE." Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb; yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform. Therefore IT WAS ALSO CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS Praise God for the gift of faith (Eph 2:8,9) Peace, Lionstrong |

5 | Define Faith. | Heb 11:1 | RElderCascade | 34583 | ||
Great! Another verse (among many) which embellish on the promises of God. Joh 1:12* But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13* Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14* And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. |
