ACCORDING TO ACTS 20:21 , FAITH IS A COUNTERPART TO REPENTANCE.THOUGH ONE MUST REPENT,HE CANNOT DO SO WITHOUT FAITH.FAITH MAY BE DEFINED AS "ACCEPTANCE AND COMPLETE RELIANCE UPON".IF ONE DOES NOT EXERCISE FAITH IN CHRIST AS SAVIOR,HE WILL NOT REPENT.

Best definition of Faith i love most:

Hebrews, Chapter 11, 001: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.


How to get faith:

Romans, Chapter 10, 017: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

You can also put it this way: faith is reason that submits to God's revelation.

Faith could be discribed as a situation where you are sure God will do something inspite of various ungodly options available to you. Where you have no Job and everything look hopeless, and you can have a job just by exchanging sexual intercourse for one. you refused even when there is no assurance any job is there for you. sad Still you say God time is the best. grin

Very interesting question. smiley And thank you to all who have enriched my understanding with the foregoing contribution.

In addition, faith is trust in God.

I believe that in includes a few of the qualities already expressed, for faith is:

 durable

 intelligent

 reasonable

True, some things seem to be 'unreasonable' to so many people; but faith understands that the dealings of God are intelligent, dependable, and sound when it comes to satisfying the deepest longings of man's heart.
