A Selection of 12 Scriptures On Faith

There are a number of definitions which apply to the term “faith”. One working description of faith is the ability to put your confidence in something or someone which cannot be perceived with any of the physical senses. A belief in the presence and power of God is termed faith in God. Belief or faith in God is the full understanding or knowledge that He will keep each of His promises, as stated in the Inspired Word. Here is a selection of Scriptures on faith.

Faith is a gift from God. It is not something that we can earn or that we can achieve on our own. He has clearly shown that He wants to give us many good gifts. The belief or faith that He will provide the faith we need to trust in His goodness and promises is something that He has freely given.

Faith is not something we need to strive for. It is a simple and calm trust in the character of God. He has given us many examples of why we should trust in Him, but sometimes it is hard to remember when we are in the midst of a trying or dangerous situation, whether physically or emotionally. When the pathway seems especially difficult, we can turn to the Word of God for reassurance. Our part is to have faith that He always keeps His promises.

Not only does God tell us through scriptures that we are to believe on Him, but He also provides dozens of examples of faith in action in the lives of Biblical characters. The great faith chapter in Hebrews talks about the best known of the patriarchs and judges, but there are others who are examples of what it means to have faith in God.

Holding on to the demonstrations of God’s care for each of us helps to strengthen even minimal amounts of faith. Spending time each day reading and meditating upon His inspired words from the Bible regarding those who are identified as the great champions of faith is a way to help us grasp the promises in our own lives.
