Faith
Theological VirtueTrust and confidence in God and His promises
Faith is complete trust, confidence, and reliance upon God. It involves believing in God's character, trusting His promises, and acting upon that belief even when circumstances are uncertain.
Faith is essential for a relationship with God and is the means by which people receive salvation. Throughout Scripture, faith is demonstrated as active trust that results in obedience.
