The topic of faith is important in all religious systems. But what exactly is faith? I think the biblical definition comes from Hebrews 11:1 which says, Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. It is simply believing in something that you cannot see. There are many passages throughout the Biblical text that deal with faith and faithfulness. We know that a characteristic of God is that He is faithful. We are called to be faithful and people of faith. Consider the following
Psalms 86:15 But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and
abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

Psalms 36:5 Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Psalms 89:8 O LORD God of hosts, who is mighty as you are, O LORD, with your faithfulness all around you? Psalms 119:90 Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast.
God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Romans 3:3 What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? 1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 10:9 We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents, 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Luke 16:10 One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
74 1 Corinthians 4:2 Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
2 Timothy 2:13 if we are faithless, he remains faithfulfor he cannot deny himself. The Bible clearly shows that faith is not just a one-time decision to follow Christ (which is certainly important and has eternal consequences) but we are called to increase in faith. Faith has been described like a muscle. A muscle in our body will atrophy if it is not used. If you have ever had a cast on an arm or leg for a few weeks you know what I mean. Just from not using the muscle it withers away and is almost useless. Our faith is the same way. We need to use our faith and to grow like Christ and increase our faith. Pray to God for him to increase your faith in Him today. Praise Him!
