Faith ,trust , and believe/belief are all translated from the same word in the Greek . They are interchangeable and mean the same thing . "Faith" has become a very religious word over time . "Believe" has been watered down over time . "Trust" is pretty much the only decent , everyday word that satisfies the original texts . It wasn't meant to be religious nor watered down .

Trusting God. He will fulfil His promises.

Faith (people say) is believing without seeing. I dont agree with that, because we can see what God does everyday. Im lame, I know, but that's the way I believe.

The best illustration of faith is this one example I've heard a long time ago.

You are standing on a ledge of a cliff over a ravine thousands of feet high. There is a narrow wooden plank stretching from that edge to the other side and you need to get to the other side.
Your friend comes along with a wheelbarrow, and he tells you he can get you across to the other side. All you have to do is get in the wheelbarrow and he will take you across.
Now comes the moment of decision. Do you trust your friend enough that he will get you safely across and climb into that wheelbarrow, or do you find some excuse and look for your own way across?

We are faced with decisions like that everyday.
Do you have enough faith to trust what God says and act upon it, or do you merely say with your mouth that you have faith but look for ways to do things your own way?

That's what faith is to me--acting on what you believe and not just saying that you believe but act otherwise.

Faith is to believe in God, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to believe in Resurrectionand

their is step better than faith

(perfection)?" god's Apostle replied, "To worship God as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is looking at you."

Heb 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Faith is to believe and hope for the promises of God in our life though it has not come to pass yet. It is not "blind faith/believing" without any substantiation from the promise of God's word.

In Hebrew 11, we can see a list of people standing on God's promises by faith.

How does faith comes about?

Rom 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

It is by hearing through the word of Christ. By seeing Christ in every book of the Bible.

However, sometimes, we are too conscious of our faith that we make faith a barrier between God and us. I used to ask myself this question "Do I have enough faith?" The more I asked, the less faith I have...hahaha. Do I mean that God do not "operate" by our faith? NO!!! Faith is still the "currency of heaven".

Rom 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all

Let me explain in a story.
A woman with discharge of blood for 12 years came behind Jesus and touched the fringe of his garment, for she said to herself, "If I only touch his garment, I will be made well."...Let's stop here for awhile. What was she conscious of? Was she conscious of her faith? NO!!! From our position to look at her, we knew that it is her faith. But in her position, she just knew that when she "touch His garment" and never said "she has great faith, so Jesus must heal her". In fact, by law, she is not allowed to appear in public. She may have heard that Jesus heals. So what is she conscious of? His grace. She saw a Jesus that is compassionate and loves to heal.

Let's continue....When she touched Jesus garment, she was healed immediately and later Jesus said "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.". Now, what did Jesus sees in her? Her faith.

When she see Jesus in His grace, Jesus sees her in her faith. Our faith is for God to see. The more we see our faith, the more discourage we become. So, what so we see? His grace. Once we see His goodness, His compassion and His loving kindness to us, without realizing, our faith will grow.

Be bless

To me faith is of the heart and our moputh speaks what is in our heart. It is connecting with God and knowing His will and praying according to that will. It is knowing with a certainty that what I need or ask for I already have. To me that is faith, I do not need it in front of me, I just believe God for it
