| What the Bible has to say about Faith
(Hebrews 11:1 KJV)
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things
not seen.
(Romans 10:17 KJV)
So then faith {cometh} by hearing, and hear- ing by the word of God.
(Romans 12:3 KJV)
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among
you, not to think {of himself} more highly than he ought to think; but
to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure
of faith.
(Hebrews 12:2 KJV)
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of {our} faith; who for
the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(Matthew 17:20 KJV)
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say
unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto
this moun- tain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and
nothing shall be impossible unto you.
(Mark 11:22-24 KJV)
(22) And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. (23) For
verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be
thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his
heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to
pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. (24) Therefore I say unto you,
What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive {them},
and ye shall have {them}.
(Romans 1:17 KJV)
For therein is the righteousness of God re- vealed from faith to faith:
as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
(2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV)
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
(Hebrews 11:6 KJV)
But without faith {it is} impossible to please {him}: for he that cometh
to God must believe that he is, and {that} he is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek him.
(1 Peter 1:7-9 KJV)
(7) That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of
gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto
praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: (8) Whom
having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see {him} not, yet believing,
ye rejoice with joy un- speakable and full of glory: (9) Receiving the
end of your faith, {even} the salvation of your {souls}.
(1 John 5:4 KJV)
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the
victory that overcometh the world, {even} our faith.
(Matthew 9:20-22 KJV)
(20) And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood
twelve years, came behind {him}, and touched the hem of his garment: (21)
For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be
whole. (22) But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter,
be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made
whole from that hour.
(Matthew 9:28-29 KJV)
(28) And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him:
and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said
unto him, Yea, Lord. (29) Then touched he their eyes, saying, According
to your faith be it unto you.
(Mark 9:23 KJV)
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things {are} possible
to him that believeth.
(James 5:14-15a KJV)
(14) Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church;
and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
(15) And the prayer of faith shall save the sick.
(Eph. 2:8 KJV) Saved by grace through faith.
(8) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:
(Col. 2:11-12 KJV) Baptism is the operation of faith.
(11) In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision
made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by
the circumcision of Christ: (12) Buried with him in baptism, wherein
also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who
hath raised him from the dead. |
