Bible Question: I have search for the meaning of Faith and it gives me other than the meaning..Please help me to understand Faith? thanks God Bless |
Bible Answer: Hi Mae68, The word faith as used in the English language is what is known as a "transitive verb", it takes an object for it to function properly. There is "no merit", as it were, on the behalf of the subject producing the faith; all of the credit goes to the object. The word used in the original language of the Koine Greek, was the word (PISTIS) or different forms of the same root word such as (PISTEUO), which is translated in the book of John in the English as (believe). The word faith and believe as stated in the Bible, to simplify matters, points to the object which God intends us to trust in, or rely on, or have hope in; and that object is God’s only provision for mankind, Jesus Christ, God’s, unique, precious Son. The sum of eternal life, with God, rest within the person and work of God’s Son, and what He did for us on the cross! John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. By believing emphatically on what Jesus did, “all” that is necessary for eternal life, is trusting in Christ, or having faith in Him; God promises that he will give us eternal life as a gift when we believe or have faith in Jesus. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. There is a “promise” in the Bible, that I cherish, and it points out faith and believing, in Jesus as the object. 1 John 5:10-13 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. [11] And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. [12] He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. [13] These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. There is a false idea in the world that we are all the children of God but the Bible says that only those that believe in the Son, Jesus, are God’s children. John 1:11-12 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. [12] But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: Have a great day, and ask God to reveal His son to you as you study His Word, the Bible.
