What is Faith?

We all seek it ,we all think about it but how many of us understand it? Very few I believe. Jesus taught about Faith. we all know Heb.11:1 and the bible speaks of Faith
 
(Heb 11:1 [NET])
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see.

Faith/ goes back to Greek as To rely on,assurance,belief,to convince
Being sure/Substance/ Concrete assurance,having confidence, setting under having support
Hope for/ to expect,to trust,to anticipate with pleasure
Evidence being convinced/ Proof,conviction
Things-what/deeds ,ideas,business matters
Seen/ To look at, perceive


With all that in your mind remember Peter and how he was around Jesus.
The story about when Jesus walked to their boat one nite and all the guys freaked out and thought Jesus was a ghost and Jesus reassured them that he was real and in the flesh and then He called
Peter and Peter did it and as he walked to Him he began to sink into the water and Peter cried out for Jesus and Jesus didn't push Peter away but reached out and grabbed his hand and they walked back to the boat together and climbed in.
So REJOICE,REJOICE we have a way of salvation.
take care and enjoy your day.
