Read the chapter →What does the Bible say about faith?
The Bible defines faith as trust in what God has promised, even before seeing it. It is born from hearing the Word, it is a gift from God — not our merit — and it shows itself in action.
Where it is written in the Bible
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.
Faith is not only believing that God exists, but trusting that he rewards those who seek him.
Read the chapter →Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Where faith comes from: hearing the word of God.
Read the chapter →Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Salvation is by grace, through faith — and not even faith is a merit: it is a gift.
Read the chapter →James 2:17
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
James completes Paul: real faith shows in what a person does.
Read the chapter →Matthew 17:20
And 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.
Jesus does not ask for great faith but for real faith — the size of a seed is enough.
