What Is Faith?
What Is Faith?Chapter 4 — Salvation
Lesson 26: What Is Faith?True faith means trusting in Jesus and in His promises.
Explanation
Faith is not a strong wish. Biblical faith means taking God at His word and leaning on the Lord Jesus Christ. Faith receives what God says as true and trusts in His promises.
It matters more in Whom you believe than how strong your faith is. A small faith in a great Savior is safer than a great confidence in yourself.
Bible story
Abraham believed God’s promise even when he could not yet see its fulfillment. He did not rely on his own strength, but on the faithfulness of the Lord. That is why the Bible gives him as an example of a man of faith.
Remember
- The truth: True faith means trusting in the Lord Jesus and in His promises.
- The strength of faith comes from the One we believe in, not from ourselves.
John 1:12
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”
