Faith
Pronounced FAYTH
- Meaning
- "Trust; Belief; Confidence in God"
- Origin
- English/Latin
Faith is the foundational virtue of Christianity — 'without faith it is impossible to please God.' It is not blind belief but confident trust based on God's character and promises. The entire hall of faith in Hebrews 11 celebrates those who walked by faith, not sight.
Spiritual meaning
Faith is 'substance' and 'evidence' — not wishful thinking but confident trust that pleases God and moves mountains.
