Faith means complete trust, confidence, or reliance. Faith comes from Middle English and Old French terms as well as the Latin "fides", which means confidence and belief, of "fidere", to trust.
Even though the faith is invisible in operation, the results or manifestations of faith are visible. Likewise the law of gravity cannot be physically observed, but its effects or manifestations can be observed and measured.
There may be some that doubt the existence of the law or principle of faith because its operation cannot be physically observed and it takes place within man's mind.
In the physical realm there are very few laws of nature that can be observed in their actual operation. For example, no one has actually seen the law that causes the red blood cells to carry atoms of oxygen or that causes the cell to divide and grow in our physical body. Neither has anyone seen the law that governs the energies and forces in an atom. Does this mean that this law doesn’t exist? The answer for any scientist or metaphysician is NO! So because the operation of a law cannot be observed with our physical eyes, doesn’t mean the law is not in existence. It is ludicrous or ridiculous to use physical observations as the sole criteria to judge whether a principle exists. Likewise ignorance of a law or principle doesn’t deny its operation and penalty for violating it. In reality, the Law of Principle is never actually observed even in the physical realm, but the manifestations are.
Faith is a mental process of the mind. It is not some physical ritual or biological operation. In reality, faith is the mental acceptance of the truth or actuality of something. Its synonyms are belief, trust, loyalty, etc. Since faith is a mental process, it is not predicated or dependent upon whether the thing or principle believed is true or false. Discernment of the facts is not a prerequisite for having faith or belief in something. What faith implies is absolute certainty, full trust, and complete confidence in the source whether there be any objective or not to support it.
The faith as follows in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews first verse: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (King James version).
The revised version of the bibles restates Heb. 11:1 as follows: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the proving of things not seen.”
The Apostle Paul further said that the principle or law of Faith is absolutely necessary to serve Our Heavenly Father. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them diligently seek Him.”
The word “faith” is often associated with a dogma or a religion such as Christianity, Islam, Buddhist, Hindu, etc., but we see from truly a divine sense that is a process of the mind or the soul’s acceptance of the truth based on objective evidence. Most people absolutely no knowledge or understanding of the structure and operation of faith although its results are magic.
