You see, faith means the same thing as the word “trust”, or as I often like to say; “Faith is when someone is holding you over a ledge and you know in your heart that not only will they not let you fall, they’ll pull you up to safety”. You know that the person holding onto you exists. You have very powerful evidence that that person exists, but you still have faith in them. This is the real definition of the word “faith”. .

About This Quote

Faith in the word of God is something that everyone should have. One who believes in God will not be able to live without him. "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). This is one of the real definitions of faith. When you believe in God, you will be free to do whatever it takes to please your Lord (John 8:31-36).
