Understanding Biblical Faith (Now Faith Is...etc.)

The book shares with its readers the core of biblical faith; which is an unwavering trust in God. It is a confidence that goes beyond a superficial acknowledgment of the divine existence. This trust is exemplified in the lives of biblical figures such as Abraham, who, despite facing seemingly insurmountable challenges, trusted in God's promises and saw them fulfilled.

Scriptures emphasize the importance of trust as an integral aspect of faith. Proverbs 3:5-6 instructs believers to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

Biblical faith is not passive; it necessitates obedience and action. James 2:17 underscores this point, stating, "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." True faith is demonstrated through obedience to God's commandments and a willingness to follow His guidance. Abraham's willingness to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice (Genesis 22) serves as a poignant example of faith in action.
