“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Heb. 11:1
“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” ESV
Substance – Assurance = ground, basis, supportEvidence – Conviction = proof that our hopes
really do exist
![Page 13: “But without faith it is impossible to please him:” Heb. 11:6 “Greek” - Pistis Red = ReadDear = Deer Cold = Temperature / Sickness](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e375503460f94b27fad/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17 NKJV
Faith is formed by a proper understanding of God’s word.We can be assured that God will keep His Word.This trust is based on the evidence given in the Bible.

“Belief without need of certain proof.” Funk & Wagnalls p. 228

Teaches that faith is not based on evidenceNo proof required or neededBlind acceptanceProbability – implies that our faith may not
be true. It could be wrong.
The Bible says there is evidence for Faith – Heb.11:1
![Page 16: “But without faith it is impossible to please him:” Heb. 11:6 “Greek” - Pistis Red = ReadDear = Deer Cold = Temperature / Sickness](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e375503460f94b27fad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
“For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” 2 Tim. 1:12
There was no doubt in Paul’s faith
It was not a probability.

Faith as described in the Bible
Knowledge must precede faith – Rm.10:17Man uses his intellect to look at the evidenceThis leads to the conclusion that God exists.
Faith means that we TRUST GodWe rely on, trust, believe.Faith comes as a result of the examination of the data, evidence or proofs
