As we all know, faith is the evidence of things that are yet to be visible.

Now defining faith with an example:
Faith is when you believe in God & the 2nd coming of his son Jesus. we are yet to see God, yet we believe in him - that is the greatest faith!

Do you have any other definition??

To me, faith is believing something is true without evidence to back it up. If there is any evidence, even bad evidence, then it is no longer faith. is not simply believing, but actively knowing that the object of your faith exists, remaining obedient to the principles of that central focus, and being continuously desirous of maintaining that presence in your life no matter what state your life is currently in. example of faith is heb 11 vs 7-16. i also use that a a example to youths and to compensate moiself cool

^^ yeah also some examples like Enoch who didn't see death, what about Noah and the woman with the issue of blood, the centurion also even our Lord Jesus Christ commented that he has not seen faith as the way the centurion exercised

Faith is wen Abraham was so many years old and still believed God will fulfill his promise wen he said his children will be as many as stars in the sky.Despite that Sarah was also old.

I couldn't believe it this morning when my friend said this faith thing is driving me crazy,I was sad but I know that wen we believe in the unseen and speak the truth all the friends leave but the greatest friend is Jesus.

Thanks Op for the topic

Faith is walking in reality (truth)

Faith is response of a mans spirit to Gods word.

Faith is when Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were about to be thrown into the fire, yet they said that they know that God is able to save them from the fire and even if God accepts that they perish in that fire, they will still not go against God.
That is Faith!
