Or do you have a favourite definition of what faith is? Blessings, Mr T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hebrews 11:1 The rest of the chapter of Hebrews gives many examples of faith, and what can be accomplished through faith. Everyone has faith in something, but only faith in Jesus Christ can save a person. <>< ><> Nathele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like the NIV version too, Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. I think Mark 11:22-23 gives a great definition of what faith is like action. 22 "Have faith in God," Jesus answered. 23"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. We can have faith in God in the sense that God is the object of our faith and that is right and good. But we can also have faith in God in the sense that we are positionally in Him and we partake of his faith. Colossians 3:3 ...your life is now hidden with Christ in God and also Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
