What is True Faith?
Hebrews 11:1 states, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." This verse encapsulates the essence of faith, illustrating it as both a foundation and a conviction. Faith provides assurance in what one anticipates in the future while also affirming the reality of spiritual truths that are not immediately visible.
