What is Faith?

It is belief based on the reliability of the one trusted: trust, confidence.

For followers of Christ, it is a belief, trust, and confidence in Jesus based on the reliability of Jesus, of God himself.

In order for the belief to be based on one’s reliability, that one must become known and it is through that becoming known that the reliability is established. This, then, is evidence based.

And since the becoming known invovles our getting to know him, it will take time. Faith grows as our relationship with him grows.

If we consider this while refelcting on the definition of love, we can see that faith grows as love grows.
