Faith is the substance of things hoped for evidence of things not seen.
But i define faith as the confirmation of guarranted conviction of their reality and faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experience by the physical senses.
Hebrew 11vs4 says it was by faith that Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain,Through which it was testified of him that was upright ,in standing with God and God testified by accepting his gift,an though he died yet through this common act of faith he still speaks
Even God in the book of Hebrew 11vs6 said that without faith it is impossible to please him(God).
Another example of faith was Enoch in Hebrew 11vs5:when Enoch was caught up and taken to heaven so that he would not have a glimpse of death and he was not found because God had taken him,for even before he was taken to heaven he received testimony still on record that he had walked with God and pleased him.
It was still through faith that Abraham in book of Hebrew when he was tested that is as the testing of his faith was still in progress offered up Isaac,and he who had received the promise of God was ready to sacrifice his only son of promise to whom it was said "through Isaac your descendants shall be called ,for he considered it reasonable to believe that God was able to raise Isaac even from among the dead.
In the sense that he was prepared to sacrifice Isaac in obedience to God ,Abraham did receive him back from the dead(that figurative)
Faith in Jesus gives hope and assurance that no matter how bad our suffering on earth is it going to be better when Jesus comes the second time ,it also help us believe their is heaven and hell even if we haven't seen it or gone there
Faith gives us hope that our love ones that have died we would see them and reunite with them someday.
Faith is the channel with which we can do the impossible
Thanks for sharing

STEEMCHURCHFaith can move any mountain away.... faith is the substance on things not seen but hope for, and has Christian we should put our faith in God
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Heb. 11:1-4
1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

It was nice reading through
Warm regards
OSFaith is the greatest weapon every Christian must possess, this will help Christians withstand temptations and trial as well as believe in the promises of God even if they're taking too long to come to pass.
It was faith that made Peter walk on water and Abraham believing in the the God for a child after a very long time.
Faith as small nor Little as a monster seed can move mountains.
As christian, we should have faith in God so as to strengthen our bond in him.
Faith is the result of teaching (Rom. 10:14-17). Knowledge is an essential element in all faith, and is sometimes spoken of as an equivalent to faith (John 10:38; 1 John 2:3). Yet the two are distinguished in this respect, that faith includes in it assent, which is an act of the will in addition to the act of the understanding. Assent to the truth is of the essence of faith, and the ultimate ground on which our assent to any revealed truth rests is the veracity of God.
