Hebrews 11; Great Example of faith.
It is not a definition of faith but a description what Faith does and how it works.
Tue Bible faith is not blind optimism or a manufactures hope-so feeling.
True Bible faith is neither an intellectual assent to doctrine.
Faith does certainty not consist of belief in spite of evidence. That would be superstition.
True Bible faith is confident obedience to God's Word despite circumstances and consequences.
This faith operates quite simply., Our Lord and Our Friend speaks and we hear His Word. We trust His Word and on it, no matter what the circumstances are or what the consequences may be.
The circumstances may be impossible and the consequences frightening and unknown, but we follow Our Lord and Our Friend's Word just the same and believe Him yo do what is right and what is best for us.
Hebrews 11 verse ; "Faith is a Confidence' that confidence comes from relationship with The God Who created us.
God Bless.
