What does the Bible say about faith?

The Bible defines faith, shows it in action and admits that it can be shaky. These are the passages most often preached.

  • Hebrews 11:1Faith is confidence in what we hope for

    Now faith is assurance of [things] hoped for, a conviction of things not seen. (ASV)

  • Romans 10:17Faith comes by hearing

    So belief [cometh] of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. (ASV)

  • Ephesians 2:8–9Saved by grace through faith

    for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God; not of works, that no man should glory. (ASV)

  • Mark 9:23–24I believe; help my unbelief

    And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst! All things are possible to him that believeth. Straightway the father of the child cried out, and said, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. (ASV)

  • James 2:17Faith that acts

    Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself. (ASV)

  • Matthew 17:20Faith like a mustard seed

    And he saith unto them, Because of your little faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. (ASV)

What pastors are saying

“The fruit of the Spirit is faith, and that we would see our faith being full. So I really think that's a good way to think about it. It's more about our faith. Is our faith full? Are we full of faith?”
“The strength of our faith does not come from our ability to exert faith, but from the object of our faith. Our faith is strong because of the strength and greatness of the God in whom we trust.”
“The same faith for a miracle is the same faith for the journey. The same faith that believes God can instantly change our circumstance is the very same faith that can sustain me as I walk through the circumstance.”
“The strength of faith is not you having a gumption of faith. The strength of faith is who it's placed in.”
“Pastor R. Kent Hughes says of faith: true faith issues in action, even when it costs. Is our faith real? Can it be seen in our actions?”
