Faith




Faith is the evidence of things not seen. Jesus states that if you have the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains (St. Luke 17:6) The dictionary version of faith is confidence in a person's ability. A belief in God, Scriptures, or teachings of religion (i.e the firm faith of the pilgrims) A system of religious beliefs. The obligation of loyalty or fidelity to a person, promise, engagement, covenant, etc..

According to the Holy Bible faith is directly linked to Jesus' forgiveness. Faith is a trust relationship with God & it has to be 100% uncompromising to the will of God. Faith is one of the major building blocks of the church. Faith is a gift of God that needs to nurtured. You have to plant the right seeds of faith. Blind faith can get you into a lot of trouble. However, through the proper amount of faith God can heal both physical blind(i.e Batimaeus) as well as spiritually blind.

Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
