Faith is the permanant expression of confidence in God and his word.Therefore do not throw away your confidence,which has a reward.For you have need of endurance so that when you may receive what is promised.Hebrews 10:35-36 tells us.Now Faith is the substance of things not seen.For by it the elders obtained a good report.Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God,so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.Hrws 11:1-3.
