Faith
What Scripture says about faith, trust, and belief
A comprehensive collection of Bible verses on faith — the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). This study traces the theme of faith from the great patriarchs of the Old Testament through the defining passages of the New Testament epistles. It covers faith as the foundation of salvation, the means of pleasing God, the source of strength in trials, and the victory that overcomes the world. Drawn entirely from the New King James Version (NKJV).
