What is the Bible definition of faith according to Hebrews 11:1?
Scripture defines faith as the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. It is the very core of what is hoped for, dealing with the invisible spirit realm, not tangible things that can be tested in a laboratory.
Les teaches that Hebrews 11:1 gives the Bible definition of faith. He says faith is the substance—the meat, the very core—of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. He clarifies that faith deals with the invisible, the spirit world, things you cannot put your hands on or test in a laboratory or test tube. He also notes that by faith the elders are in view, and he thinks Paul wrote Hebrews, referring to the Old Testament forefathers.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
