Faith: persuasion, i.e. credence; moral conviction (of
religious truth, or the truthfulness of God or a religious teacher), especially
reliance upon Christ for salvation; constancy in such profession; by extension
the system of religious (Gospel) truth itself; -assurance, belief, believe
faith, fidelity. (Greek Dictionary of the New Testament)
The author of the letter to the Hebrew believers said this:
Now faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1NKJV)
And I love this in the Amplified version…
Now faith is the assurance (the
confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of
things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith
perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. (Hebrews 11:1AMP)
FAITH!!!!! Faith is not some whimsical
belief in things we hope in; faith is substantive, evidential, credibility, proof,
a confirmation of truth. It is a gift from God, placed inside of us, that
confirms what we do not yet see.
Hallelujah!
