What is faith?

• A. Hope in humanity
• B. A moral code
• C. Belief and complete trust in God
• D. Knowledge of science

Answer: (C)

Faith is trusting God completely—believing who He is and relying on His promises rather than on ourselves. It involves both belief (that God exists and is trustworthy) and a deep, confident commitment to Him that shapes how you live. Faith isn’t just knowing about God; it’s placing your life into His hands, trusting Jesus for forgiveness, and following His guidance even when you don’t have all the answers. It grows as you see God keep His promises and rely on Him in everyday choices, not just in theory. This stands in contrast to hoping in people, simply following a set of rules, or knowing facts about science, because faith centers on a relationship of trust with God that changes how you think and live. A useful picture is that faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the conviction of what we do not see, guiding you to rely on God in all circumstances.
