Faith Defined
Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Faith is a Part of Everyday Life
2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
Growing Faith
• Romans 10:17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Faith is Necessary • Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. • Matthew 9:2And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.• Matthew 9:22But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
Faith is Power
Matthew 17:20And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Faith is an Action
James 2:26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
