Understanding Christian Faith from the Biblical Perspective The definition of faith is defined in the Bible as “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (BibleGateway, Hebrews 11:1). In other words, faith believes that something will take place or manifest before it actually does. Faith is not based on whether God believes it or not but if the believer does. Faith is a process. Each believer’s faith level is different. “For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith” (BibleGateway, Romans 1:17). A mature believer recognizes that one should have childlike faith but not be childish. Some people have incomprehensible faith while some others are afraid to operate in faith at all. In order to understand how to live a Christian life style of faith one must understand the biblical perspective and foundation of faith in Hebrews 11 verse 6, Matthew 17 verse 20 and Matthew 21 verses 21 and 22. Hebrews Chapter 11 is commonly known as “The Faith Chapter” and sets the foundation of faith. The scripture states, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (BibleGateway, Hebrews 11:6). This scripture clearly states that in order to please God, one must have faith. The scripture also goes on to say that one must believe that God exist and that secondly, He rewards those individuals that earnestly look or search for Him. Faith is an action. One must have faith to receive Salvation. Salvation activates faith. As a born again believer faith becomes part of a Christian’s spiritual DNA. What was once unbelievable is now believable and what was once impossible is now possible because of faith. “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”
