What does the Bible say about the basis of our faith?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that the basis of our faith is the Word of God alone, not our feelings or emotions.

The basis of our faith, as emphasized numerous times in Scripture, rests solely upon the Word of God. This principle is echoed by Martin Luther, who famously wrote, 'Feelings come and feelings go, and feelings are deceiving; my warrant is the Word of God; nought else is worth believing.' Our confidence in spiritual matters must align with what God has revealed, standing firm on His promises documented in the Bible rather than fluctuating personal sentiments. Like David, we should declare, 'I hope in Thy Word,' affirming that true hope is anchored in Scripture and cannot be based on the capriciousness of our emotions.
