What is Faith?

Life Application Study Bible Notes on Hebrews 11:1:

“Two words describe faith: confidence and assurance. 

These two qualities need
a secure beginning and ending point. 

The beginning point of faith is believing in God’s character--
He is who He says. 


The end point is believing in God’s promises--
He will do what He says. 

When we believe that
God will fulfill His promises

even though we don’t see
those promises materializing yet,

​we demonstrate true faith.”

 
 
New International Version (NIV)


Hebrews 11:1: 
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for
and assurance about what we do not see.
 
Amplified Bible (AMP)


Hebrews 11:1:  
Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation)
of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed),
and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality--
faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].
 
The Message (MSG)

Hebrews 11:1:  
The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God,
this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living.
It’s our handle on what we can’t see.
 
King James Version (KJV)

Hebrews 11:1: 
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
 
Living Bible (TLB)

Hebrews 11:1: 
What is faith?
It is the confident assurance that something we want
is going to happen.
It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us,
even though we cannot see it up ahead.

    BARB'S ARTWORK
    It seems to fall into the category of Aleatoric Art. I just scribble &  it looks
    like something 
    to me, so
    I turn it into
    whatever I see.


    ​Aleatoricart posted this description in September 2011 (this is an elevated view in my opinion):

    "Aleatoric Art is the ultimate collaboration between
    man and the elements. Happenstance, randomness
    and a twist
    of fate’s unwilling wrist go in halfseys
    with some of the most outstanding visionaries
    the planet can boast in a peaceful
    yet often violent serendipity of
    creative cacophony
    to produce works of art that go far beyond those
    of mere mortals alone."
