Faith is following God despite the difficulites >>>>

 

[Hakan101]

It is knowing the Lord is real in your heart, and trusting His grace by following Him. It is not having to worry in life even though you cannot see the future.

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

I agree with all of the above. It's KNOWING that God/Jesus/Holy Spirit is there for the best future for me.

Faith is the necessary follow up of the awe of God which precedes it. A gift.

 

[Hotpepper]

Faith comes by hearing the Word of God, but that is only where it begins. True faith is built upon by trust. Trust is conceived and strengthened by God's proven and unfailing faithfulness to His honesty and integrity in which all TRUE FAITH continues to build upon.

[FONT=&quot]Faith [/FONT][FONT=&quot]is based in and on the work and teaching of Jesus; it’s an act of trust or reliance, and causes change as it seeks a greater understanding of God. [/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Abraham didn’t have any reason to hope, but he had faith in what God had promised, and his faith was a witness to how great God is. Abraham knew that the promise was physically impossible, but he trusted in God’s power and faithfulness rather than in his own abilities. We have no hope according to the flesh, no hope according to our works, but we can trust in the promise of God, given to Abraham and extended through Jesus Christ to all who believe in him. We should not be discouraged by our human inability to be righteous, but we should trust in the promise of God to count us righteous on the basis of faith in his son Jesus.[/FONT]
For more on faith read Hebrews Chapter 11

 

[Fire for God]

Faith to me, is knowing that despite the pain, the trials, and difficulties I see around me, there's a light shining up ahead, and a glorious inheritance waiting for me when it's all over.

Heb. 11
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

I love Jesus because I have faith in His person and what He has done for me.

I just had to reword what I wrote this morning, its was sort of bothering me all day that I didn't quite word that right... lol we're good now.
God bless.

Faith is a gift from God. Faith should be accompanied by action. It is believing for things not yet seen. It is the absence of doubts.

"John 11:25-26 I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."

All of the above are GREAT. I will humbly add that as our own spirits are regenerated, we develop the ability to see even though we were blind before, in fulfillment of Messianic prophecy. This Spiritual vision, of Spiritual things, can be thought of as Faith.
