What does the Bible say about faith and reliance on God?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is reliance on God's ability to save without any contributions from us.

Faith, in its essence, is having complete trust in God's capacity to save us. This is illustrated through the account of the twelve spies who explored Canaan, where ten spies focused on their inability and gave an evil report, while Caleb and Joshua declared their reliance on God's ability to deliver them into the promised land. This distinction is critical because true faith is not based on our capabilities but solely on God's promises and power to fulfill them.
