What Is Faith?

everyone believes in something. everyday life would be nothing without the exercise of BELIEF , TRUST, and DEPENDENCE. for example; when you're driving you have BELIEF that the signs are telling you the truth, you have CONFIDENCE that other drivers are trustworthy, and you have TRUST that when you're light is green theirs is red and that they will stop at that red light. faith is commonplace at the ordinary level of living. but, it is also exercised higher up.

the significance of faith can not be overestimated and should not be underestimated! 
But, what is faith? 

[webster's definition:] "the allegiance and loyalty to a person or duty." , the second definition: " the belief & trust in and the loyalty to God," 

Faith: believing that something you've been told is true. the conviction that it is true is based on the source of the information being trustworthy. trust is placed in that which is believed to be true, to such a degree that the believer begins to look forward to actualization of that which is believed. (Heb. 11:1)

"Faith is the evidence of things we can not yet see." (11:1) 

No human was present at the beginning of creation - no one saw what happened. so speculation & scientific exploration continue unabated (without any reduction or slowing down) to this day.  But, the believer accepts that it is " By Faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at Gods' command." (11:3)

the believers life is all about believing in EVERY DIMENSION.

the big issue is , Who and What Do you Believe?!
