The Meaning Of Faith

Meaning

Faith means the following:

1. Believe, to accept what is said as true.

2. The knowledge of the truth and abiding in the truth. This truth includes the covenant laws of God.

3. The believe, acceptance and practice of word of God, by keeping the covenant laws of God, according to the teachings of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit.

4. Remaining steadfast in keeping the laws of God.

5. Obedience to the teachings, corrections, messages and warnings from God.

6. Believing that what God said is true and living according to it.

7. On many occasions, people assume something to be true when such a thing is not true, and remain steadfast in the practice of their assumption. Such a faith is called false belief, assumption or misconception. That is why what many religions, churches, ministries and fellowships call faith is nothing but stubbornness, the persistent refusal to do what God has said. Even so today, many are accepting false teachings and wrong practices, simply because that what they want or what they have being told. They believe that they shall be saved just becoming Christians, without keeping the laws of God. This kind of belief is not faith and it is foolishness based on spiritual blindness, ignorance and laziness.

8. Faith is faith only as far as it is based on truth. This truth includes the spiritual realities of life, of which the teeming world populations of humanity are ignorant of.
