“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Heb 11:1, NKJV) Important Truth: The substance of faith is not a feeling. “…The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” (Ps 19:1, NIV)

“You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!” (Jas. 2:19 NKJV) “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” (Jas. 1:22 NKJV)

Important Truth: Faith is expressed through obedience to God’s Word.
