Dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ Who loved us, gave Himself for us, and washed us from our sins in His own Blood; and to the Church, which is His body.

Faith is Evidence

"Faith is . . the evidence of things not seen."
Hebrews 11:1

Faith is evidence.
The Greek word for 'evidence' means proof or
conviction.

The English word 'evidence' refers to that
which is obvious or can be seen.
This might seem to be a funny way for the
author of Hebrews to talk about things which
are not seen.
He is making a point about things which can
be seen with the natural eye and things which
are seen apart from the natural eye.
He is talking about seeing things in the Spirit.

Faith is able to make it obvious to us on the
spiritual level, because faith itself is a
spiritual matter.

The Greek word used here for 'things' [the
evidence of things not seen] refers to things
which are under consideration, things which
have been, or are in the process of being
accomplished.
