So what is faith?
Because there is ‘so much great value which any faith gives’ to any taught knowledge, whilst ‘any taught knowledge can become valueless’ if not driven by faith. We should now establish what exactly this faith is?
The King James Bible describes faith per Hebrews 11 verse 1, as;
“Faith is ‘the substance’ of things hoped for, and ‘the evidence’ of things not
seen.”
Firstly, the highlighted ‘substance’ refers to the substance of whatever teaching one has received, and the taught substance would have imparted to the taught person, not only the requisite personal belief and conviction ‘in proficiently applying the taught knowledge’ in one’s conceiving and pursuing whatever one desires to accomplish. But also, that pursuit would be so persistent and unrelenting, to the extent that ‘it creates the basis’ for one’s having some very high hope, in ‘one’s successfully accomplishing’ what one is pursuing.
Secondly, the highlighted ‘evidence’ refers to ‘the taught person’s evidencing or demonstrating’ one’s established personal belief and conviction driven hope, by ‘one’s relentlessly pursuing the fulfillment of the hoped for accomplishments’ regardless of whatever difficulties or inhibitions one encounters, and until one accomplishes these.
Thirdly, how faith ‘gives so much value’ to any taught knowledge, is through the applied faith ‘enabling any person to subsequently pursue and accomplish’ any of one’s previously taught on objectives or desires.
Accordingly, any hoping for anything without evidencing or demonstrating one’s hope ‘by one’s relentlessly pursuing the fulfillment’ of whatever one hopes for, is ‘just having wishful desires’ and certainly not having any faith. Hence despite most people’s claiming to have some type or level of faith, their ‘continuing without pursuing let alone accomplishing’ most of their generally many and frequent desires, confirm their not having the faith they claim to have. Which explains why James 2 verse 8 says ‘show me your faith by your works’.
For ‘your growing the faith for conceiving, pursuing and accomplishing’ whatever you desire,
