Frequently asked questions
What is the best Bible verse about faith?
Hebrews 11:1 is the classic definition: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:6 and 2 Corinthians 5:7, “For we walk by faith, not by sight,” are also widely loved.
What does the Bible say about faith?
It says faith is trusting God and his promises (Hebrews 11:1), that it comes by hearing God’s word (Romans 10:17), that we are saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8), and that real faith is shown by what we do (James 2:17).
What is faith as small as a mustard seed?
In Matthew 17:20 Jesus said that faith “as a grain of mustard seed” could move a mountain. The point is not the size of our faith but the greatness of the God it trusts.
How can I grow my faith?
Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing the word of God, so reading Scripture is the first step. Prayer, worship and remembering what God has already done also strengthen trust, as does asking honestly, “help thou mine unbelief” (Mark 9:24).
