Faith. What Is It Really?

Contributed by Michael Brown on Oct 24, 2020

I'm doing a study on Roman 14:23 which touches on faith. It says that anything that is not of faith is a sin. To get a better understanding of this verse we need to know God's definition of FAITH. I did research on that word & this sermon/definition is what I found.

To fully understand faith we should know God's definition of it. The Lord defines faith in Hebrews chapter 11. Hebrews ...read more
