"without
faith it is impossible to please him. For whoever would draw
near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards
those who seek him."
Heb 11:6
"I am the way, and the truth, and the
life; no one comes to the Father, but by me. If
you had known me, you would have known my Father also"
John 14:6,7
"for you will die in your sins unless
you believe that I am he."
John 8:24

These three Scriptures lie at the very heart and foundation of the
Christian faith.
The Christian faith is all about believing in God through Jesus Christ.
There are other important factors to Christian faith that are of vital
importance to Christianity, such as:
The steadfast love of God for his
creation
Man's sinful and lost condition
God's righteousness and grace
The death, burial and resurrection of
Jesus
Man's willingness to submit in obedience
to the will of God
The Christian's willingness to be led by
the Holy Spirit
And Christian's living a life faithful to
God and His calling
But the key to all of these is faith in God through Jesus
Christ.
The purpose of these lessons on faith is to explore
the dynamics and depth
of the Christian doctrine of FAITH.
In these lessons
we will consider several aspects of Faith:
Some of the many important Scriptures
discussing Faith
How one comes to Faith or to believe in
God and Jesus Christ
How Faith works in the scheme of man's
salvation and Christian life
A Biblical Theology of Faith
We recognize and confess that the study of Christian Faith is a broad,
deep, and challenging study!
This study will be in two sections, and will include a brief
