NOW FAITH IS : "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen ."(Hebrews 11:1). Now faith gives substance to the things that you and I cannot see with the natural eyes. In (Hebrews 11:1) God tells us what Bible faith is. Moffatt's translation of this verse reads, "Now faith means that we are confident of what we hope for, convinced of what we do not see." Another translation says, "Faith is giving substance to things hoped for." Still another translation reads, "Faith is the warranty deed, the thing for which we have finally hoped he is at last ours." There are a number of kinds of faith and I'm not talking about denominational or religious creeds. Everyone, saived or unsaved, has a natural, human faith. But here God is talking about a scriptural Bible base faith. He is talking about a Bible faith. He is talking about believing with your heart and the heart he is talking about is not the muscle that pumps blood through your body. And there is a vast difference between believing with your heart and just believing what your physical senses tell you ! Faith is grasping the unrealities of hope and branding them into the realm of reality. For example, you hope for finances to me the obligations that you have to pay. Well, faith gives the substance that you will have the money when you need it. Let me draw your attention also to (Hebrews 1: 1 through 3) "In Many separate revelations each of which sets forth a portion of the truth and in different ways God spoke of old to [our] forefathers in and by the prophets, But in these last of these days He has spoken to us in [the person of a] Son, whom he appointed Heir and lawful owner of all things, also by an through whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time [He Made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order] He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of God's nature, upholding and maintaining an guirding and propelling the universe by His mighty Word of power." The amplified Bible. Now in the King James Bible ! "God, who at sundry times and in diverse manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets had in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; who, being the brightness of his glory, and the express image [Literally the representation of his substance] of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power." Jesus who is the Christ the Messiah is God's spoken Word logos. God is telling us where his power is, it is in the spoken Word. "Faith is the evidence of things not seen." You hope for physical strength to do the work that you must do. Faith says, "the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid" (Psalms 27:1). The God kind of faith will say about itself everything that the Word says, for faith in God is simply faith in His Word. In the beginning was the Word, And the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God." The written word of God is capable of becoming God over your situations and circumstances if you take the Word of promise get it in your mouth then He gets in your heart and the more He gets in your heart [spirit] and the more HE gets in your heart in abundance that's what will come out of your mouth. (2 Corinthians 4:13) "We, have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, I have believed, and therefore have I spoken. We too believe, and therefore we speak." The amplified Bible and the King James version.
