QUESTION: What is faith?
ANSWER: Faith in Christ is not simply belief or mental assent that He exists and is the Son of God! Saving faith is belief in Christ, conjoined with obedience to Him! This obedient faith is described, by example, throughout Hebrews, chapter eleven, which we encourage you to study. Without this kind of faith, “it is impossible to please Him” (Hebrews 11:6). James tells us that without obedient works, faith is dead; a faith that cannot save (James 2:14-26).
