KJV Dictionary defines faith as the “Belief; the assent of the mind to the truth of what is declared by another, resting on his authority and veracity, without other evidence; the judgment that what another states or testifies is the truth. I have strong faith or no faith in the testimony of a witness, or in what a historian narrates.”
Webster Dictionary Defines faith as the “belief and trust in and loyalty to God; belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion.”
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
Faith is a vital part of our relationship with God. Through faith, we have eternal life. Without faith we cannot please God.
Faith through the Holy Spirit will help the truth to be received. Faith is the firm persuasion and belief that God will perform all He has promised.
Faith goes beyond the physical senses. We cannot hear, smell, see, taste, or touch it. Faith allows us to believe that a God that we cannot currently see can do what seems humanly impossible. Therefore, our faith grows spiritually rather than physically.
Faith trusts that when we cannot see God working we can have the confidence that no matter what our situation may be God is working on it for our good and His glory.
