Faith

The scriptural definition of Faith is the assurance that the things revealed and promised in the Word are true. Even though unseen, and gives the believer a conviction that what he expects in faith, will come to pass. In other words, it becomes so tangible that you now possess it.

It is one of those words that is commonly used but not always understood. Some of that confusion comes from the many different ways the word is used in everyday conversation; a quick look at Dictionary.com shows seven different uses! One common way that people use the word is to refer to belief in something despite lacking any evidence for it.

So, when the Bible uses the word faith, what does it mean? Because it is the means by which we have a relationship with God: “For by grace you have been saved through faith” (Eph 2:8). It is how we receive the benefits of what Jesus has done for us.
