7 Important scriptures that describe what faith really is...

7 Important scriptures that describe what faith really is... - from the New International Version of The Bible

1. What faith is‚"Substance" and "Evidence" of the unseen - Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews. 11:1 
2. Without faith one cannot come to nor please God - And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6 
3. Faith comes by hearing the word of God - Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Romans 10:17 
4. It is according to our faith when we believe the truth - When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you" Matthew 9:28, 29
5. It is not according to our faith when we believe error - Then they got Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood. They took the ornate robe back to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son’s robe.” He recognized it and said, “It is my son’s robe! Some ferocious animal has devoured him. Joseph has surely been torn to pieces.” Genesis 37:31-33 
6. Jesus prayed that Peter's faith would not fail him - But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”Luke 22:32 
7. The faithful are God's friends - And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend. James. 2:23

You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be

How Nature Reveals God: "The book of Nature is an expression of the thoughts of — God. We have God’s terrible thoughts in the thunder and lightning; God’s loving thoughts in the sunshine and the breeze; God’s bounteous, prudent, careful thoughts in the waving harvest. We have God’s brilliant thoughts beheld from mountain top and valley, and God’s sweet and pleasant thoughts of beauty in the little flowers.—Spurgeon.
