WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT FAITH?

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT FAITH? PLEASE READ ALONG WITH ME...:)

 Faith in Christianity is based in and on the work and teaching of Jesus Christ.^[12] In this way Christianity declares not to be distinguished by its faith, but by the object of its faith. Faith is an act of trust or reliance. Rather than being passive, faith leads to an active life of obedience to the one being trusted. It sees the mystery of God and his grace and seeks to know and become obedient to God. To Christians faith is not static but causes one to learn more of God and grow; it has its origin in God.^[13] In Christianity faith causes change as it seeks a greater understanding of God. Faith is not fideism or simple obedience to a set of rules or statements.^[14] Before the Christian has faith, he must understand in whom and in what he has faith. Without understanding, there cannot be true faith and that understanding is built on the foundation of the community of believers, the scriptures and traditions and on the personal experiences of the believer.^[15] 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".^[16] Heb 11:1 (KJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

James 2:14-26 (King James Version)

 ¹⁴What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

 ¹⁵If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

 ¹⁶And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

 ¹⁷Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

 ¹⁸Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

 ¹⁹Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

 ²⁰But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

 ²¹Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

 ²²Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

 ²³And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

 ²⁴Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

 ²⁵Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

 ²⁶For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

 WALK BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT...
