1 Now supernatural belief and trust, is that which has actual existence regarding things for which we have divinely inspired expectation, the evidence of things not materially perceived.
Faith is substance. It isn't a blind acceptance of something. It isn't a mental exercise. It's not based on what we can prove scientifically. It is a spiritual substance.
Romans 10:17 So then supernatural belief and trust comes by hearing, and hearing by the utterance of God. We hear God's Voice. He speaks to us. His Word, His logos, is transforming. When He speaks, when He leads us, His faith comes. His faith gives us access to His grace. His grace does His works through us.
True faith has the power to do miracles, not by human effort but by God's Hand. Faith is never directed by human will but by the will of God. It always comes by God speaking to us.
Faith is actual evidence in the spiritual realm.
The secularists, like the Greeks, cannot understand faith. It seems like foolishness to them because of their blindness and their preconceptions. They ask for the evidence. They want to debate faith. God simply declares, "I am."
