7 (for I have to guide my steps by faith, not by what is seen)—
Bible verses about "faith" | Goodspeed
2 Corinthians 5:7
1 Corinthians 2:5
5 so that your faith might rest, not on human philosophy, but on the power of God.
Ephesians 2:8
8 For it is by his mercy that you have been saved through faith. It is not by your own action, it is the gift of God.
Hebrews 11:1-13:25
1 Faith means the assurance of what we hope for; it is our conviction about things that we cannot see.
2 For it was by it that the men of old gained God's approval.
3 It is faith that enables us to see that the universe was created at the command of God, so that the world we see did not simply arise out of matter.
4 Faith made Abel's sacrifice greater in the sight of God than Cain's; through faith he gained God's approval as an upright man, for God himself approved his offering, and through faith even when he was dead he still spoke.
5 Faith caused Enoch to be taken up from the earth without experiencing death; he could not be found, because God had taken him up. For before he was taken up there is evidence that he pleased God,
6 but without faith it is impossible to please him; for whoever would approach God must have faith in his existence and in his willingness to reward those who try to find him.
7 Faith led Noah, when he was warned by God of things no one then saw, in obedience to the warning to build an ark in which to save his family, and by such faith he condemned the world, and came to possess that uprightness which faith produces.
8 Faith enabled Abraham to obey when God summoned him to leave his home for a region which he was to have for his own, and to leave home without knowing where he was going.
9 Faith led him to make a temporary home as a stranger in the land he had been promised, and to live there in his tents, with Isaac and Jacob, who shared the promise with him.
10 For he was looking forward to that city with the sure foundations, designed and built by God.
11 Faith made even Sarah herself able to have a child, although she was past the time of life for it, because she thought, that he who had made the promise would keep it.
12 And so from one man, for any prospect of descendants as good as dead, there sprang a people in number like the stars in the heavens or the countless sands on the seashore.
13 All these people lived all their lives in faith, and died without receiving what had been promised; they only saw it far ahead and welcomed the sight of it, recognizing that they themselves were only foreigners and strangers here on earth.
14 For men who recognize that show that they are in search of a country of their own.
15 And if it had been the country from which they had come to which their thoughts turned back, they would have found an opportunity to return to it.
16 But, as it is, their aspirations are for a better, a heavenly country! That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city to receive them.
17 Faith enabled Abraham, when he was put to the test, to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had accepted God's promises was ready to sacrifice his only son,
18 of whom he had been told, "Your posterity is to arise through Isaac!"
19 For he believed that God was able to raise men even from the dead, and from the dead he did indeed, to speak figuratively, receive him back.
20 Faith enabled Isaac to bequeath to Jacob and Esau blessings that were still to be.
21 Faith made Jacob when he was dying give a blessing to each of Joseph's sons, and bow in worship even while leaning on his staff.
22 Faith inspired Joseph when he was dying to tell of the future migration of the Israelites, and to give instructions about his own body.
23 Faith led Moses' parents to hide him for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child and they would not respect the edict of the king.
24 Faith made Moses, when he was grown up, refuse to be known as a son of Pharaoh's daughter,
25 for he preferred sharing the hardships of God's people to a short-lived enjoyment of sin,
26 and thought such contempt as the Christ endured was truer wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking forward to the coming reward.
27 Faith made him leave Egypt, unafraid of the king's anger, for he persevered as though he saw him who is unseen.
28 Faith made him institute the Passover and splash the blood upon the door-posts, to keep the angel that destroyed the firstborn from touching them.
29 Faith enabled them to cross the Red Sea as though it were dry land, although the Egyptians when they tried to follow them across it were drowned.
30 Faith made the walls of Jericho fall, after they had marched around them each day for seven days.
31 Faith saved Rahab the prostitute from being destroyed with those who disobeyed God, because she had given a friendly welcome to the scouts.
32 And why should I go on? For my time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets,
33 who by their faith conquered kingdoms, attained uprightness, received new promises, shut the mouths of lions,
34 put out furious fires, escaped death by the sword, found strength in their time of weakness, proved mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.
35 Women had their dead restored to them by resurrection. Others endured torture, and refused to accept release, that they might rise again to the better life.
36 Still others had to endure taunts and blows, and even fetters and prison.
37 They were stoned to death, they were tortured to death, they were sawed in two, they were killed with the sword. Clothed in the skins of sheep or goats, they were driven from place to place, destitute, persecuted, misused—
38 men of whom the world was not worthy wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and holes in the ground.
39 Yet though they all gained God's approval by their faith, they none of them received what he had promised,
40 for God had resolved upon something still better for us, that they might not reach the fulfilment of their hopes except with us.
Hebrews 12:1-13:25
1 Therefore, let us too, with such a crowd of witnesses about us, throw off every impediment and the entanglement of sin, and run with determination the race for which we are entered,
2 fixing our eyes upon Jesus, our leader and example in faith, who in place of the happiness that belonged to him, submitted to a cross, caring nothing for its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Think of the opposition that he encountered from those sinners against themselves, if you would not grow weary and faint-hearted.
4 You have not yet resisted unto death in your struggle with sin,
5 and you have forgotten the challenge addressed to you as God's sons, "My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's discipline, Or give up when he corrects you.
6 For it is those whom the Lord loves that he disciplines, And he chastises every son that he acknowledges."
7 You must submit to it as discipline. God is dealing with you as his sons. For where is there a son whom his father does not discipline?
8 But if you have none of that discipline which all sons undergo, you are illegitimate children, and not true sons.
9 When our earthly fathers disciplined us we treated them with respect; should we not far more submit to the Father of our spirits, and so have life?
10 For they disciplined us for a short time and as they thought proper, but he does it for our good, to make us share his holiness.
11 Discipline is never pleasant at the time; it is painful; but to those who are trained by it, it afterward yields the peace of character.
12 So tighten your loosening hold! Stiffen your wavering stand!
13 And keep your feet in straight paths, so that limbs that are lame may not be dislocated but instead be cured.
14 Try to be at peace with everyone, and strive for that consecration without which no one can see the Lord.
15 Be careful that no one fails to gain God's favor, or some poisonous root may come up to trouble and contaminate you all—
16 some immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his very birthright for one single meal.
17 For you know how, when he afterward wished to claim the blessing, he was refused it, although he begged for it with tears, for he had no opportunity to repent of what he had done.
18 For it is no tangible blazing fire that you have come up to, no blackness and darkness and storm,
19 no trumpet blast and voice whose words made those who heard them beg to be told no more,
20 for they could not bear the order, "Even a wild animal, if it touches the mountain, must be stoned to death,"
21 and so awful was the sight that Moses said, "I am aghast and appalled!"
22 But you have come up to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to countless angels,
23 to the solemn gathering of all God's elder sons, enrolled as citizens in heaven, to a judge who is the God of all, to the spirits of upright men now at last enjoying the fulfilment of their hopes,
24 to Jesus the negotiator of a new agreement, and to sprinkled blood that speaks more powerfully than even Abel's.
25 Take care not to refuse to listen to him who is speaking. For if they could not escape because they would not listen to him who warned them here on earth, how much less can we, who reject him who is from heaven!
26 Then his voice shook the earth, but now his promise is, "But once more I will make not only the earth but the very heaven to tremble!"
27 Now the words "But once more" indicate the final removal of all that is shaken, as only created, leaving only what is unshaken to be permanent.
28 Let us, therefore, be thankful that the kingdom given to us cannot be shaken, and so please God by worshiping him with reverence and awe;
29 for our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 13:1-25
1 Your love for the brotherhood must continue.
2 Do not forget to be hospitable to strangers, for by being so some, without knowing it, have had angels as their guests.
3 Remember those who are in prison as though you were in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated as being yourselves liable to the same trials.
4 Marriage should be respected by everyone, and the marriage relation kept sacred, for vicious and immoral people God will punish.
5 You must not be avaricious; you must be content with what you have, for God himself has said, "I will never let go of you or desert you!"
6 So that we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can men do to me?"
7 Do not forget your former leaders, the men who brought you God's message. Remember how they ended their lives and imitate their faith.
8 Jesus Christ is the same today that he was yesterday, and he will be so forever.
9 You must not be carried away with strange varieties of teaching. The true way to steadfastness of heart is through God's mercy, not through scruples about food, which have never done their adherents any good.
10 Our altar is one at which those who serve the tent of worship have no right to eat.
11 For the bodies of the animals whose blood is taken into the sanctuary by the high priest are burned outside the camp.
12 And so Jesus too, in order to purify the people by his blood, suffered death outside the city gate.
13 Let us, therefore, go out to him, outside the camp, sharing the contempt that he endured,
14 for we have no permanent city here on earth, but we are in search of the city that is to come.
15 In his name let us continually offer praise as our sacrifice to God—the utterance of lips that glorify God's name.
16 But do not forget to be helpful and generous, for that is the kind of sacrifice that pleases God.
17 Obey your leaders and give way to them, for they are keeping watch in defense of your souls, as men accountable for the trust. Make their work a joy and not a grief, for that would be the worse for you.
18 Pray for me, for I am sure I have a clear conscience, and I mean in every way to live an upright life.
19 I ask this of you more especially that I may be brought back to you the sooner.
20 May God, the giver of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus who through the blood by which he ratified the everlasting agreement has become the great shepherd of the sheep,
21 fit you by every blessing to do his will, and through Jesus Christ carry out in us what will please him. To him be glory forever and ever. Amen.
22 I beg you brothers, to listen patiently to this appeal, for I have written you but briefly.
23 You must know that our brother Timothy has been released from prison. If he comes here soon, we will see you together.
24 Remember us to all your leaders and to all your fellow-Christians. The brothers from Italy wish to be remembered to you.
25 God bless you all!
Luke 1:37
37 For nothing is ever impossible for God."
James 2:19
19 Do you believe in one God? Very well! So do the demons, and they shudder.
Ephesians 2:8-9
Mark 11:22-24
22 Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God!
23 I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Get up and throw yourself into the sea!' and has no doubt in his mind, but has faith that what he says will happen, shall have it.
24 Therefore I tell you, whenever you pray or ask for anything, have faith that it has been granted you, and you shall have it.
Hebrews 11:1
1 Faith means the assurance of what we hope for; it is our conviction about things that we cannot see.
Hebrews 11:6
6 but without faith it is impossible to please him; for whoever would approach God must have faith in his existence and in his willingness to reward those who try to find him.
Matthew 21:22
22 And everything that you pray for with faith, you will obtain."
Romans 10:17
17 So faith comes from hearing what is told, and that hearing comes through the message about Christ.
