"WARNING ! WE NEED TO LISTEN!"

¹⁷So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."WARNING! WE NEED TO READ OUR BIBLES!"

"WE NEED TO TEACH WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS!"

Faith in Christianity is based in and on the work and teaching of Jesus Christ.^[10] In this way Christianity declares not to be distinguished by its faith, but by the object of its faith. (MINE...JESUS IS FAITHFUL!") Faith is an act of trust or reliance.obedience Rather than being passive, faith leads to an active life of to the one being trusted.(MINE...TRUST JESUS HE IS WORTHY OF ALL TRUST!)  It sees the mystery of God and his grace(MINE...GOD IS FULL OF GRACE!)... and seeks to know and become obedient to God.(MINE...JESUS WAS OBEDIENT TO THE CROSS!)...To Christians faith is not static but causes one to learn more of God and grow;(MINE...GROW IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST THE WORD OF GOD!)... it has its origin in God.^[11] In Christianity faith causes change(MINE...GOD IS THE POTTER...WE ARE THE CLAY!)...as it seeks a greater understanding of God. Faith is not fideism or simple obedience to a set of rules or statements.^[12] Before the Christian has faith, he must understand in whom and in what he has faith. (MINE...FAITH IN JESUS!") Without understanding, there cannot be true faith,(MINE...FAITH COMES BY HEARING..."AGAIN...WE NEED TO READ!

Romans 10:17 (King James Version)

 ¹⁷So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Ephesians 2:8-9 (New King James Version)

⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, ⁹ not of works, lest anyone should boast.

^[13] In English translations of the New Testament, the word faith generally corresponds to the Greek noun πίστις (pistis) or the Greek verb πιστεύω (pisteuo), meaning "to trust, to have confidence, faithfulness, to be reliable, to assure".^[14] Heb 11:1 (KJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

(MINE...WE DO NOT SEE HIM YET WE TRUST, WE BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST OUR FAITHFUL AND TRUSTWORTHY SAVIOR!!! THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD WHO DIED FOR OUR SINS ON THE CROSS AND SHED HIS BLOOD FOR US SINNERS! IT IS JESUS THAT IS FAITHFUL...WORTHY...RIGHTEOUS DESERVING OF ALL GLORY!!! AMEN!!! HALLELUJAH!!!

Hebrews 11 (King James Version)

Hebrews 11...(MINE...What Is Faith?

ANSWER:

 ¹Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (MINE...WE HOPE IN JESUS...WE DO NOT SEE JESUS...WE BELIEVE IN JESUS By Faith...The Elders By Faith...

 ²For by it the elders obtained a good report.(MINE...Through Faith We Understand...THE KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS!

 ³Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God,(MINE...JESUS... so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.(MINE...By Faith Abel...Excellent Oil...See Anointing OILS...BY FAITH...

 ⁴By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

 ⁵By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death;(MINE...RAPTURED / TRANSLATED /  FROM FLESH TO SPIRIT. and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

 ⁶But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

 ⁷By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

 ⁸By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

 ⁹By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

 ¹⁰For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

 ¹¹Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

 ¹²Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

 ¹³These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

 ¹⁴For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

 ¹⁵And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

 ¹⁶But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

 ¹⁷By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

 ¹⁸Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

 ¹⁹Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

 ²⁰By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

 ²¹By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

 ²²By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

 ²³By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.

 ²⁴By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

 ²⁵Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

 ²⁶Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

 ²⁷By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

 ²⁸Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

 ²⁹By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

 ³⁰By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

 ³¹By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

 ³²And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

 ³³Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.

 ³⁴Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

 ³⁵Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

 ³⁶And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

 ³⁷They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

 ³⁸(Of whom the world was not worthy:)

 CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION""

they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

 ³⁹And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

 ⁴⁰God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

 2 Corinthians 5:7 (King James Version)

 ⁷(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
