Hebrews 11:1-3 "Faith Is..."

Everyone has faith. But what does faith mean? For the Christian, faith is a gift from God, and, being a gift from God, faith has some characteristics. Faith is assurance that what we hope for will come to pass. Assurance is not a subjective feeling but an objective reality rooted in the unchangeable nature of God. His promises are what we hope in; His promises are concrete realities in Jesus. Faith is conviction. We have evidence for our faith: the life, death, resurrection, and current work of Jesus. We find this evidence when we open our Bibles and see what God has done in our life. Faith is acknowledging that God is creator. Ideas have consequences. Your view of the origins of humanity shape how you view fellow human beings. Creation also shapes salvation and new creation.
