Bible Study Faith

Faith in GOD

“Confident trust, reliance, and personal commitment to God, (Active & Ongoing)
rather than merely an intellectual belief in His existence”.

Faith begins when you had an encounter/experience/hearing from God

Key Aspects of Faith

Confidence & Trust:

It is the “assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).

Active Commitment:

True faith involves placing one’s life into God’s hands, not just agreeing that
He exists.

Relationship-Based:

It is the means of having a personal relationship with God, allowing individuals to receive His grace.

Beyond Logic:

It is often described as belief based on spiritual evidence rather than scientific
proof, though not necessarily contrary to evidence.

bush and fell asleep. (1 Kings 19:3)

But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning
to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus

climbed into the boat, the wind died down.
