What is faith?
I'd like to get my definitions straight from the Bible. In Romans 4:5, faith is defined as trusting God who justifies the ungodly. In Hebrews 11:1, faith is defined as confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Trusting God who justifies the ungodly...
This is about God's grace that was achieved and accomplished on the Calvary about 2000 years ago. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God and we are all aware of this because our God-given conscience bears witness when we do something wrong. But the good news is that God is rich in mercy and offer His grace to everyone through faith. We need His grace in order to be able to live a guilt-free life.
Confidence in what we hope for...
If we trust God, then we will be confident in what we hope for and we will have assurance about what we do not see. Why? Because we know that God is in control. The seas might be raging now, but He will speak and tame them. Have faith!
