What is Faith?


Christians talk a lot about "Faith". We "live our faith", tell others about our "faith" and bring others to the "faith". But what is faith? What does it mean to put our "Faith" is Jesus? Is it an intellectual assent to certain facts? Is it an emotion? Does it happen in a moment or over a life-time?"


I heard this statement today:
"Faith
is more than a decision. The call to “follow me” means transformed people building transforming communities."

What do you think? Do you agree/disagree? Does this resonate with you? If you agree how does it affect how we share our "faith". If you disagree, why?

"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." ~ Hebrews 11:1

That's an interesting statement. People wouldn't "follow Jesus" without faith, right? "Transformed people building transforming communities"...sounds like evangelism. :D Can you have transforming communities without having transforming people in them?
