What is faith?

Welcome to the GOSPEL JOURNEY. This week we'll be working through the sentence: Everyone who trusts in Jesus alone will have eternal life. These posts are to help you engage with the central message of the Bible. Comment. Question. Agree. Disagree. Either way, let us know what you think.

What is faith?

A first step to defining faith is deciding what it is not. Take a look at Matthew 7:21-23 and James 2:18-19 and answer these questions:

1. Can a person be saved because of what they have done?
2. Why will God turn away some people? What reason does He state?
3. Since demons know about God, yet are not saved, what does this tell you about faith?

Next, check out Proverbs 3:1-12 to see faith clearly defined:

1. Where should your trust lie?
2. How much trust should you show?
3. What is the result of such trust?

Faith is complete dependence. It's not intellectual thought or emotional binding, it's letting your entire life rest in Christ's hands. You complete rely on His work for salvation.
