Topic: Faith Is

Faith is a trust you hold or possess. You can have a quantity of faith or trust. You can have little faith or a lot of faith. Faith or trust in God can manifest itself as a healing power, for one person's faith can heal another. With faith or trust, there must also be love. Faith or trust is a dynamic and growing part of our lives. As faith or trust grows, so does love. Fear and faith cannot go together, for if you have a lot of fear, you do not have much faith. When John Paton was translating the Bible for a South Seas island tribe, he discovered the tribe had no word for trust or faith. One day a native who had been running hard came into the missionary's house, flopped himself in a large chair and said, "It's good to rest my whole weight on this chair." "That's it," said Paton. "I'll translate faith as 'resting one's whole weight on God.'"

In Hebrews 11:1 we find a biblical definition of faith. "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." (NIV)
