2 Corinthians 13:5 “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.“
1 Corinthians 16:13 “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith;“
Galatians 2:20 “I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Colossians 2:6 “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him,”
Hebrews 11:1 “faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”
Faith is having the kind of trust and confidence in God and in Christ that leads you to commit your life to him.
Faith in God must be from the heart. It is not merely intellectual. It is spiritual. "For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:10)
Faith causes you to know in your heart before you see with your eyes. "For we walk by faith, not by sight." (2Cor 5.7)
To live in faith means to do and say what you believe is right, without doubting.
"The just shall live by faith" (Romans 1:17). We must live by faith in order to be considered by God "righteous”.
Why must we believe God? Hebrews 11:6 says, "But without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
"Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God" (Romans 10:17). Constant attention to the Word of God produces faith
For faith to be real, it demands obedience. James 2:26 “so faith without deeds is dead.”
