Answers
Answer:
1) "Jesus said to him, 'If you can believe? All things are possible for one who believes." "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
2). The Bible teaches that “faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1). So faith is being certain about realities we believe are true but we cannot see with our physical eyes. God's Word also says that “without faith it is impossible to please God…” (Hebrews 11:6).
3). Jesus is the Saviour therefore, undoubtedly, belief in Jesus is fundamental to salvation. ... He simply told him to believe in him: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
4). Without faith it is impossible to please [God]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him”
5). Now faith (pi'stis) is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." This passage concerning the function of faith in relation to the covenant of God is often used as a definition of faith.
6). To have faith in God is to make a practical commitment—the kind involved in trusting God, or, trusting in God. (The root meaning of the Greek pistis, 'faith', is 'trust'.) This, then, is a fiducial model —a model of faith as trust, understood not simply as an affective state of confidence, but as an action.
