What does the Bible say about the nature of faith?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible describes faith as a genuine heart conviction, not merely mental assent, as seen in Romans 10:10.
The Bible emphasizes that faith is more than just acknowledging certain facts; it involves a transformation of the heart. Romans 10:10 states, 'For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.' This indicates that true faith springs from a heart that sincerely believes, involving the affections, will, and understanding directed towards Christ. Therefore, faith is the act of believing Christ Himself and receiving Him, not just agreeing intellectually with doctrines.
