Faith

“Now faith (conviction of the truth of anything, belief; in the NT: of a conviction or belief respecting man's relationship to God and divine things, generally with the included idea of trust and holy fervor born of faith and joined with it; the conviction that God exists and is the creator and ruler of all things, the provider and bestower of eternal salvation through Christ; fidelity, faithfulness) is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Heb. 11:1


PONDER: Faith, a conviction of the truth that God is Who He says He is according to His Word, is the foundation or substructure of all that we hope for and is the proof or conviction of things that are not seen. Believing that God is Who He says He is, regardless of our circumstances is the foundation of hope.
