what is faith?

Answer 1

Paul described the faith of Enoch and other witnesses when he wrote: “Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.” (Hebrews 11:1) Yes, faith is the confident expectation, based on assurances, that the things we hope for will come true. It involves an expectation so strong that it affects the focus of our life.

. “Faith,” says the apostle Paul, “is not a possession of all people.” (2 Thessalonians 3:2; Gal. 5:22, 23.) “Faith,” writes the apostle Paul, “follows the thing heard.” (Romans 10:17) Hearing the Bible, not just having a Bible, is what builds faith. You “hear” what God has to say by reading and studying his Word. Even young ones can do this. Paul says that “from infancy” Timothy was taught “the holy writings” by his mother and grandmother. Does this suggest that some kind of brainwashing was involved? No. Timothy was not manipulated or deceived in any way. He was “persuaded to believe” what he heard and read.—2 Timothy 1:5; 3:14, 15.

"6 Moreover, without faith it is impossible to please him [God] well, for he that approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him." (Heb. 11:6.)

Romans 10:10 says: “With the heart one exercises faith.”

Answer 2

Heb 11:1 What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see.

The beginning point of faith is believing in God's character. He is who he says. The end point is believing in God's promises. He will do what he says. When we believe that God will fulfil his promises even though we don't see those promises materializing yet, we demonstrate true faith.

Answer 3

Faith is to believe the God as our creator, the existence of Angels, and life after death.

Answer 4

I see all your answers, but I shall add one more. Faith is doing those things that Jesus Commanded us to do. Even though the world tells us we are stupid, or that is not what he meant. And the soldiers asked "what shall we do?" and he said do violence to no man. or Love your enemies. resist not evil,.
Or I tell you that there shall be two men in one bed, one will be taken and the other left.
How about The disciple Jesus loved said it is the Lord, and Peter girded himself for he was naked and did cast himself into the sea.
