Faith has been wonderfully described in the Bible, used by great people who loved God and would do anything and everything for him. Even Abraham, the father of faith, had such faith in God to the point of sacrificing his son (God intervened and blessed Abraham as the father of nations).
Faith in the gospel, which is accepting and trusting the one we cannot see, knowing that he died and rose and will come again — that is the faith of salvation in Christ Jesus, which every believer who has confessed Christ has received redemption for their souls.
Faith, as the gift of the Spirit, is another example of faith we have read and even seen; the apostle worked tremendously with this gift through the power of the Holy Spirit with signs following.
We have seen and read of the great miracles that seemed impossible but done by the Holy Spirit trough great evangelists of our time, both past and present because of their faith in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Faith to Move Mountains
Mountains come to us in diverse forms, such as obstacles, opposition, sickness, death, difficulty, impossibility, and insurmountable situations.
What are you, O mighty mountain? Standing before Zerubbabel, you will become level ground (Zechariah 4:7).

Each and every single valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain (Isaiah 40:4).

The mountain here is not a literal mountain that we see as we drive through our hometown, this mountain is a figurative mountain as expressed above. Faith removes them from our way, it makes them plain and they become as nothing before us. For nothing can stand in the way of a man or woman of faith (Mark 11:23; Matthew 21:21).

Jesus was telling the disciples, who were marveled because the fig tree dried up, that even this mount, the Mount of Olives if you say to it be thou cast into the sea, it will literally be cast into the sea because you believe it can be done.

Why? Because we have faith, that whatever we say believing shall be done. Just as we believe that Jesus is the Savior. So, therefore, no matter how little our faith is, even if it is as small as a mustard seed, inasmuch it has the backing of faith as we make our declarations, it will be, just as we say it should.

That is why speaking and praying in faith is important for us as believers, we are not just ordinary people, Christ says whatever you believe it shall be established unto you, the Matthew Henry’s commentary puts it better.

I did read it and I noted the actual meaning of the word faith is missing from the write-up.


Faith (pistis) and Knowledge (gnosis)
The distinction between faith (pistis) and knowledge (gnosis) is a very important one in Valentinianism. Pistis, the Greek word for faith denotes intellectual and emotional acceptance of a proposition. To the Valentinians, faith is primarily intellectual/emotional in character and consists accepting a body of teaching as true.

I am not asking for the Valentenian assumption but what the Spirit of God Himself has revealed to you as regards Faith
