The Story of An American Religion ..... from Antiquity
Faith
Confidence in something or someone. As most often used in the scriptures, faith is confidence and trust in Jesus Christ that lead a person to obey Him. Faith must be centered in Jesus Christ in order for it to lead a person to salvation. Latter-day Saints also have faith in God the Father, the Holy Ghost, priesthood power, and other important aspects of the restored gospel.
Faith includes a hope for things which are not seen, but which are true (Heb. 11:1; Alma 32:21; Ether 12:6). Faith is kindled by hearing the gospel taught by authorized administrators sent by God (Rom. 10:14–17). Miracles do not produce faith, but strong faith is developed by obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ. In other words, faith comes by righteousness (Alma 32:40–43; Ether 12:4, 6, 12; D&C 63:9–12).
True faith brings miracles, visions, dreams, healings, and all the gifts of God that He gives to His Saints. By faith one obtains a remission of sins and eventually is able to dwell in God’s presence. A lack of faith leads one to despair, which comes because of iniquity (Moro. 10:22).
The just shall live by faith, Hab. 2:4.
Thy faith hath made thee whole, Matt. 9:22 (Mark 5:34; Luke 7:50).
According to your faith be it unto you, Matt. 9:29.
If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, nothing shall be impossible unto you, Matt. 17:20 (Luke 17:6).
I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not, Luke 22:32.
Faith in Christ’s name hath made this man strong, Acts 3:16.
Faith cometh by hearing the word of God, Rom. 10:17.
If Christ is not risen your faith is also vain, 1 Cor. 15:14.
Faith worketh by love, Gal. 5:6.
By grace are ye saved through faith, Eph. 2:8 (2 Ne. 25:23).
Take the shield of faith, Eph. 6:16 (D&C 27:17).
I have finished my course, I have kept the faith, 2 Tim. 4:7.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, Heb. 11:1.
Without faith it is impossible to please him, Heb. 11:6.
Faith, if it hath not works, is dead, James 2:17–18, 22.
