Faith in God - 11

Chorus: Victory Ahead
Victory ahead! Victory ahead!
Through the blood of Jesus, victory ahead;
Trusting in the Lord, I hear the conqu'or's tread,
By faith I see the victory ahead!
Verse 1:
When the hosts of Israel, led by God,
Round the walls of Jericho softly trod;
Trusting in the Lord, they felt the conqu'or's tread,
By faith they saw the victory ahead.
Verse 2:
David, with a shepherd's sling and five stones,
Met the giant on the field all alone;
Trusting in the Lord, he knew what God had said,
By faith he saw the victory ahead.
Verse 3:
Daniel prayed unto the Lord thrice each day,
Then unto the lion's den led the way;
Trusting in the Lord, he did not fear or dread,
By faith he saw the victory ahead.
Verse 4:
When like those who've gone before to that land,
By death's river cold and dark I shall stand;
Trusting in the Lord, I will not fear or dread,
By faith I saw the victory ahead.

Question: What is faith?

Answer: Hebrews 11:1
KJV: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence not seen.
AMP: Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the
title-deed) of things [we] hope for, being the proof of
things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality--
faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.
Hebrews 11:1-3 NCV "What Is Faith?"
Faith means being sure of things we hoped for and knowing
that something is real even if we do not see it. Faith is
the reason we remember great people who lived in the past.
It is by faith we understand that the whole world was made
by God's command so what we see was made by something that
cannot be seen.
