Don W Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Faith in God and all of the things He has done and will do for us, His children, is what we believe as Christians and put our trust in Him as we believe, even though we often cannot see the end results of His promises, in what He has done and will do for us and in the world. Faith does it all for us who put our faith (or trust) in our living Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, and our faith in Him and His Word to us will be totally fulfilled someday for us in heavenly glory when we Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godsanointed523 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 How would you put in your own words what faith is and does? Faith is something that i cannot see but i know it is there like His glory fills me each day,his Holy Spirit guides me in all that i do.When i pray to Him i know that He is listening to me cause He can have me feel that he is comforting me or a petition that im making is like a no feeling but He reveals his answers through others or through the Word of God.Faith has us believe that the spirtual is possible when we feel it is not possible to do so or we can think somethin and it comes to be because God heard us.

Cee Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Q1. Using Hebrews 11:1-3 as your source, how would you put in your own words what faith is and does? "What is and does"; To me faith is the exhortations based on the preceeding expositions of the Old Testament passages; in verse (2) to me, it is talking about "ancients" Christians that has come along before our time that believed in God and His praomise; in verse (3)in my faith, I understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what is visible.

davidjjj Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Q1. Using Hebrews 11:1-3 as your source, how would you put in your own words what faith is and does? When our hope in God and His promises has real substance to it, that is, when we are absolutely confident and assured of theses unseen realities-then we actually have more than hope-we have faith! Another way to put it is this- when we have a deep conviction of unseen realities, as though we had solid evidence to prove them-then we have faith! People who in the past had faith like this (in God and His word) knew the approval of God (and still do) An example of this kind of faith in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God's leading lady Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Faith to me is believing and trusting God without any traceable and tangible sources to rely on. Faith helps or allows me to face challenging circumstances that I may or will face during my daily walk in the Lord. Faith also empowers me to endure these challenging moments. Faith gives me hope in knowing that God will open doors that need to be open in my life or closed in my life. Faith allows me to trust God no matter how devastating the problem I'll face may be.

JanMary Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Q1. Using Hebrews 11:1-3 as your source, how would you put in your own words what faith is and does? Faith is the gift from God which gives us the ability to see into the unseen spiritual realm where He exists and to lay hold of the things He promises,and to believe that they are ours, before we actually see them with our physical eyes. Faith lifts us above the natural into the supernatural....where His Word is our reality, rather than our circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Faith is believing without doubting that Jesus is Lord sent by God to free sinners and reunite us as children of the holy kingdom of God.

kiwidenis Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Q1. Using Hebrews 11:1-3 as your source, how would you put in your own words what faith is and does? The thing that amazes me is that it is all about HIM and NOT about ME. OUR FAITH IS A GIFT to us from GOD ... it is not something we can work up it is a GIFT of the Holy Spirit. Do we need more Faith? We certainly do - Then at every opportunity we must ask God for it James Ch 1. Even our faith in God is a gift. Amazing. So - through the faith that God gives us - we are certain ... we are sure of what we hope for but do not see. We know it is certain because God has put it into our hearts through His Holy Spirit. Hallelujah. -- what a witness. God does it and then witnesses to our hearts that HE did it. Praise His name. This means we must come in complete humility and thank HIM for ALL he has done and is doing .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Riv Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Q1. Using Hebrews 11:1-3 as your source, how would you put in your own words what faith is and does? All that we hope for is real to us, and this is achieved by faith. This is what faith does, it treats things that are hoped for as reality. Faith is believing in what is not seen or heard, and waiting patiently for it to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Faith is exercising confidence in the things God has spoken / promised and being so sure of what He has said that we not only expect it to eventually come to pass - we believe that it is already done - this being evidenced by our actions and lifestyle in that we live as though we already possess it. . . Romans 4:16-21 (NKJV) 16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all 17 (as it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations") in the presence of Him whom he believed--God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be." 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

iam4_1god Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Q1. Using Hebrews 11:1-3 as your source, how would you put in your own words what faith is and does? To me, faith is believing that God can and will do what He says He will do. That simple. I haven't seen God, but I know that He is real, and that I can depend on Him to keep His word.

servant for Christ Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Q1. Using Hebrews 11:1-3 as your source, how would you put in your own words what faith is and does? To me, faith is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead. The faith by which we understand that God created the world is faith in the divinely inspired revelation found in God himself, in our belief that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.

jacquie7 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Faith is the being confident and sure of what cannot or is not seen; will happen. That the desires of one’s heart that is within the will of God (are in the spiritual realm) and will eventually manifest in the natural. Being able to visualize and believing beyond a doubt that the eternal heavenly promises and rewards of God are factual and do exist. Faith gives hope for something much better than that which already exists. Faith is being able to trust God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Jerry Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Faith is believing in the what the Bible is telling us. We didn’t see the accounts nor can we reproduce them in our laboratories. It is believing in the accounts of what is written. But we do have proof because of what we see around us.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needmyzzz Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Faith is living in the spiritual realm as opposed to the physical. It is an assurance of the unseen spiritual facts, an agreement of our spirit with what the Holy Spirit is speaking to us. It is a determined knowing rather than a hoping. What faith does...it is the foundation that keeps me grounded, continuing in the faith and able to take another step. It gives me a settled peace amidst the worldly chaos. When the humanness in me allows me to waver or start to get tossed in the waves, faith acts as an anchor and re-stabilizes me, revives my spirit and puts me back on solid ground.

Using Hebrews 11:1-3 faith is the trust, confidence and reliance on God for the promises and hope of eternal life with the Lord. It is the assurance and confirmation of the things I hope for, the proof of things I do not see but the conviction of their reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Price Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Faith is the belief of something. In the beginning was God. God did not believe He was. He IS. God Is. I believe that He is. I have faith, belief in Him who Is. He said it, He showed it, I see it in everything. I feel him in spirit, in my mind, my body, my soul. The reason people do not believe is lack of knowledge or lack of confidence or uncertainty, in themselves,...for many reasons but mostly is because they have not being taught from childhood. Every culture on this earth passes down from generation to generation, a faith, a belief, a way of life. Whether they understand it physically or not, they believe because it was instilled in them by parents or traditions. Then we have those who are so full of themselves, the "me me", it's all about "me" , we refuse to see anything else. But I guess that is a faith in it self? So faith is a belief in something. Even a person who does not believe in God, has faith? He believes that there is no God? faith? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Price Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Faith is believing in something that we may not see and knowing in our heart, mind and soul that is true, and because we believe it to be true, it creates within us an assurance that gives us confidence to act on it.

Godswriter Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Q1. Using Hebrews 11:1-3 as your source, how would you put in your own words what faith is and does? With faith you have a genuine guarantee that the Lord will answer your prayers, and also that whatever the Lord promises to us the Lord will do and not fail to do. For everything He promises to do He will accomplishes in His own time. He is the Creator of both Universe and the Creatures that live on the earth. He also is the Lamb of God. For it is by faith that we believe in God not by works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
