Hebrews 11:1 (New Revised Standard Version)
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for,
the conviction of things not seen.
It [Faith] is an absolute belief that God is constantly working
behind the scenes in every area of our lives,
even when there is no tangible evidence to support the fact.
On the other hand, fear, simply stated,
is unbelief or weak belief.

not by works, so that no one can boast.

Galatians 5:22-23 (NRSV)
…the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Faith involves letting go enough to trust God with your life.
