The concept of Faith

The English dictionary defines faith as, “a system of religious belief,” and we’ve heard phrases like, a man of faith, or a woman of faith, but what is the true definition of faith?

According to the Verity of God’s Word, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” ~ Hebrews 11:1. Pastor Tony Evans likes to define it like so, “faith is acting like it is so, even when it’s not so, in order that it might be so, simply because God says so.”
