Assurance of God's creation, his provision of salvation through Jesus, closeness to God in this life.

Faith allows me see the reality of these things, and to participate in them. Life with Jesus now and with Him in heaven forever.

Faith enables me to trust that something I am hoping for from God will actually happen. It is an inner assurance that I already have something that at the moment is invisible but in due time will be made visible. It's an ongoing trust over a period of time & doesn't give up or waiver in the face of adverse circumstances , but continues to trust that it will be made visible because it is based on the rhema word of God , that has come alive to me , because the Holy Spirit has breathed upon it.

Faith requires trusting God's word, especially about receiving the grace of faith in Christ. Things we see re earthly and will fail eventually. Faith in the unseen is for things eternal, through the love of God.

For me faith is believing, what is unknown or seen about God and what he has said in his word. Believing the Holy Spirit will draw us closer as we grow in Gods word and our relationship with him. I don’t believe one can have more faith than the other, I believe as it’s said in Romans 12:3 that God has given every man the measure of faith. We all have the same measure it’s our choice how and when we use it. I can have faith in healing and someone else might not believe in that same healing. I don’t think they don’t have faith I think they just haven’t grown in their relationship with God that they can believe he will heal them. Faith keeps us going, knowing that God is faithful and fulfills his plans and promises.
