Hello, My Friends. Well as it seems, my computer will not cooperate with the study on gotquestions.com and I cannot figure out why. And so, I am changing to a different study and hope that it goes well
The website we will be using is faithbiblestudy.org, if you would like to go there for yourself to read more about faith and biblical teaching. I will be using just a portion of the study, each day. Please read on for today's lesson:
To define faith the way the Bible does, we start with Hebrews 11:1 — the closest thing Scripture gives us to a formal definition: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”— Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)The English Standard Version renders it: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”— Hebrews 11:1 (ESV)Four words carry the biblical definition of faith: assurance (or substance), conviction (or evidence), things hoped for, and things not seen. Assurance of things hoped for means faith is not a vague wish — it is a present-tense title deed to what God has promised. Just as a property deed proves legal ownership of land you have not yet built on, faith proves possession of God’s promises before they materialize in the physical world. Conviction of things not seen means faith functions like legal evidence — a court-level certainty about spiritual realities the natural eye cannot confirm. This is not blind belief. It is evidence-based trust in the character of a God who cannot lie.
Today will be the introduction into the study from their website.
Biblical Faith: The Biblical Definition of faith, Why it matters, and How to acquire it
Every believer has heard the word faith — but ask someone to define faith in precise, biblical terms and most will hesitate.
Is faith just believing in God? Is it a feeling? Is it the same as hope?
Faith in the Bible is far more specific, far more powerful, and far more practical than most people realize. It is the foundation of your relationship with God, the mechanism of salvation, and the daily force that carries you through the hardest seasons of life.
This guide answers three questions the Bible addresses directly: what is the biblical definition of faith? Why does faith matter so much to God? And how do you put your faith into practice and grow it? Let us go straight to what God’s Word says
Tomorrows study: What is Faith in the Bible? The Definition of Faith
Thanks for being patient with me, Friends. I just want to report the Biblical truth in God's Word and sometimes, (like we all do at times) computer problems pop up and though I have learned a lot about dealing with them, sometimes for some reason I can't.
Also, thanks for coming. I love and appreciate all that come here each day.
