Faith

Trust in God and his promises—‘confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.’

Faith is more than belief that God exists; it is reliance on him, taking him at his word. ‘Without faith it is impossible to please God.’

We are saved by grace ‘through faith,’ and the righteous ‘live by faith,’ walking in trust rather than by sight.
