Defining faith


After Galatians 3:7-14
 

Faith is knowledge,

knowing things, and

faith is conviction,

believing the things

are true, believing

even when it’s hard

to believe, perhaps

especially when it’s

hard to believe. Even

when knowledge is 

easy, conviction

may be hard, living

our knowledge

because we know

it’s true. And faith

is trust, abandoning

reliance upon self

and embracing 

reliance on the one

cursed, the one who

died, the one nailed

on the judgment tree.
