What is Faith ?

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 Many people think of faith merely in terms of a certain feeling, or a strong religious opinion that people hold for a period of time. True faith, by contrast, interacts with the prophetic realm. Faith from eternity is dynamic, not static. We say it is “dynamic” because it is connected to God’s unfolding plan or project of salvation, so faith keeps in step with what God is doing at the moment. Mere human feelings and opinions (the things that the world calls “faith”) go nowhere and are temporary. Faith exists independently of man’s history. History is simply the space between God’s promises and their fulfillment.
