What Is Faith

Faith goes beyond mental agreement with spiritual truths—it's the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. Like a title deed, faith means you already 'own' what God has divinely guaranteed, even before it manifests physically. God gives everyone a measure of faith, but it must be developed through hearing God's Word and taking action. Faith is a muscle that grows stronger with use, enabling us to please God and jump into His promises even when we can't see where we'll land. Without faith, it's impossible to please God, but with it, we can experience His goodness in the land of the living.
