The concept of faith through an 8Th grader....
"Faith is an attitude of total commitment, reliance, trust and obedience toward God's will for one's life.
In the Old Testament, faith mentioned thirty times, does not refer so much as to a set of doctrines as an outward acceptance of the Law. Instead, faith and righteousness was evident through their lives. Faith in the Old Testament is rather sometimes found in a specific word (s), work commandments of God, God's revelation, or in God, Himself. Confidence in God's faithfulness and a consequent loving obedience to His will distinguishes the Old Testament saints from others.
In comparison, the same attitude is expected in Christians today as the New Testament shows faith described in Hebrews 11. However, unlike the Old Testament, faith appears five hundred times primarily for the reason of "this real act of faith, " believing that Jesus was the promised messiah. For example, Jesus aimed at creating a complete trust in his disciples. He offered Himself as the object in faith necessary for intercession between God and man and eternal life. His primary concern was building that faith in them. To believe meant becoming a Christian as in Ephesians 2:8-9.
Faith is completely trusting in Jesus, the truth of his teachings and His redemptive work accomplished on the cross. As a result, one will submit to Him and His messages. Faith requires reliance, commitment, and obedience to Him as Lord."
