THE MODERN CONFUSION OF FAITH
Is it “intellectual and emotional self-control that can change outcomes through positive thinking?”
Faith, Belief & Trust are the same word in biblical Greek
πίστις (pistis)
conviction of the truth of anything, belief;
persuasion (to be persuaded, come to trust);
faith
FAITH IN THE BIBLE
It leads some to victory and others to suffering
It’s not measured by how much success we accumulate or how much suffering we avoid
THE PURPOSE OF FAITH
It guarantees us a renewed relationship with God and eternity in his presence
