It is a Real Spiritual Substance.
Everything Physical is Created from it by GOD.
It has alot of Qualities.
As you Grow in Faith, then you can Learn More About Faith.
Some Think that it Describes a religion, thats O.K. to think that way, words take on their own Meanings after a While, the Bible says Faith is the Substance of Things Hoped For.
That is what the Bible says.

Faith is knowing something will happen even if you can not see it. I will give you two examples. 1. I know if I pray about something then the end result will be better then If I decide to use my own wisdom. I have enough faith in GOD to let him handle my affairs. 2. I know that if I post a question here on Yahoo and it mentions GOD or Jesus that it will be attacked and ridiculed by non believers of all sorts. I know this by experience. Both are faith. Just different ways of coming to faith.
May GOD richly bless you.

Faith is knowing something without seeing it or proving it. Having faith in God means that you believe everything he says and does without evidence or proof. Thankfully, God gives us evidence and proof for most stuff, but you also have to have faith that he loves you. For example: if I am falling off a bridge (there's nothing at the bottom, but a river) and God says he will save me and let me live, I have to have faith and not worry. What do you think will happen? God will catch you. Any way he chooses to.

Faith is believing in something without too much proof. However, I have faith, and it isn't a bad thing.

Faith is a general term used to refer to religious belief, in particular acceptance of religious doctrines and dogmas. Faith can also be used to refer to the body of those doctrines.

Unfortunately "faith" is often a crutch used by organized religion when free-thinking people point out the glaring inconsistencies and hypocrocies in their teachings. When they have no logical answer they command you should just have "faith".
In reality true faith is the knowledge that God is perfect and eternal and that everything is therefore perfect and happening exactly according to plan.

I'd say that the bottom line is that faith is believing without seeing. One example is: some people believe in God, even though they can't see Him.
