What is the definition of Faith?

You really just asked this question instead of going to dictionary.com to find out? Bravo!

Definition: " Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demontration of realities though not beheld." Heb 11:1...True faith is not credulity, that is, a readiness to believe something without sound evidence or just because a person wants it to be so. Genuine faith requires basic or fundamental knowledge, acquaintance with evidence, as well as heartfelt appreciation of what that evidence indicates. Thus although it is impossible to have real faith without accurate knowledge, the Bible says that it is " with the heart" that one execises faith.---Rom 10:10

Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Except, when we read the following verses, we find faith includes actions. The entire chapter is commending actions to represent faith. Therefore, it does not seem to be complete without actions and as James said, faith without works is dead.

;you have it there as presented by fellow believers the rest are so hateful and hopeless to understand. to expect that cancer will will be heal even though the doctor has said go home and have a good life well what time you have expecting healing even when there is evidence that you will die---my aunt had cancer, we prayed over her, doctor did a second scan and nothing was there (no it was not a misdiagnosis).

God hears and heals and when we do not get healing it just means that we have served our mission--my cousin had cancer, we prayed, she did not heal, she passed away. As Job we need to be ready to take the good and the bad.

Faith in God begins by proving to oneself the belief in his existence and his interest in the affairs of mankind. It is strengthened by reading His Word and accepting his promises within as a certainty. Ones faith is strengthened by recognizing the hundreds of fulfilled prophecies in the Bible. To those who put their trust in God by continuing to follow divine guidance from scripture they gain true faith and see his hand in their lives. They experience God's presence by being enlightened by Holy spirit to understand His purpose for mankind. They have received answers to their earnest and sometimes most seemingly improbable prayers by awaiting for them to be answered in His due time. If they lack faith, God gives more as long as they are truly seeking it and are working in harmony with His will.

Faith is many things.

But the definition of faith is this:

Believing in the unseen as tho we could see it.

And once we do, then God shows us all we need to be able to do all He calls us to do.

This is faith.

The Bible tells all about it.

Lovely question.

God bless you

Faith refers to the area of one's life where the rules otherwise applied to understanding the world are upheld.

Hearing God to trust & obey. Trusting & obeying God.

Examples of faith are written of in Hebrews11.

Faith is believing in something that you do not see. We believe in electricity but we do not see it. We plug our computers into the wall and we have faith that this invisible electricity will work and turn on our computer. We go to sleep at night and have faith that when we wake up the sun will shine. There are many examples and ways to define faith.

How a soul believed, in practicing and perceiving god.

Faith is the substance of something hoped for or not yet seen
