Define Faith from Scripture

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” ~ Romans 10:17
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith ~ Hebrews 12:2a
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” ~ Hebrews 11:1

(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)
The Nature of Faith

No Striving
(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)

Pray God’s Will
(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)

What Walking in the Spirit is NOT
(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)
Walking in the Spirit isn’t studying the Bible to become a scholar, but it moves us to hear God’s voice as He speaks through the Scripture so we receive what we need.

GOD IS HERE
(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)
Walking in the Spirit isn’t a human effort to experience God’s presence. It’s acknowledging God’s presence that’s already here.

DOCTRINE COMES ALIVE
(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)
Walking in the Spirit isn’t knowledge of teachings, but doctrine comes alive in the presence of the Holy Spirit.
