What Does the Bible Say About Faith?

Scripture reveals that faith is a gift from God, not something we muster up on our own, and it involves trusting in Him completely rather than our own understanding.

Scripture on Faith

Hebrews 11:1 New Testament
"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."
Romans 10:17 New Testament
"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ."
Ephesians 2:8-9 New Testament
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."
2 Corinthians 5:7 New Testament
"For we live by faith, not by sight."
Proverbs 3:5-6 Old Testament
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
The Bottom Line
Faith is a confident reliance on God's promises, not just a feeling or philosophical stance.

Pray and ask God to increase your faith. Then look for opportunities to step out and trust Him, even when you can't see the full picture.

Prayer

As Jesus said, 'Ask and it will be given to you' (Matthew 7:7).

Heavenly Father, I confess that I often struggle to truly trust You, even though Your Word promises that faith comes from hearing about Christ. Please give me the gift of unwavering faith, that I would walk by faith and not by sight. When doubts and fears arise, help me to remember Your promises and lean not on my own understanding. I surrender myself to You, trusting that Your plans are good. In Jesus' name, Amen.
