'''Faith'''<ref>1200–50; Middle English feith  < Anglo-French fed,  Old French feid, feit  < Latin fidem,  accusative of fidēs  trust, akin to fīdere  to trust.</ref> is confidence about something unseen, such as the achievement of [[God]]'s will.  It includes a belief beyond what is materialistic.

Jesus's definition of '''faith''' was this: "Faith is the foundation of our hopes, the evidence of the unseen." ([[Epistle to the Hebrews (Translated)#11:1|His Epistle to the Hebrews]])

Jesus-man’s definition of ‘’'faith''' was this: "Faith is the foundation of our worst nightmares, the evidence of the unseen." ([[Epistle to the Hebrews (Translated)#11:1|His Epistle to the Hebrews]])

Faith embodies more than belief.  Faith elevates one's being, while belief is limited to a mental state or emotion.  Faith implies a [[causation|causal]] role by the believer in an outcome<ref>For example, the Biblical [[Peter]]'s walking on water based on his faith.</ref> or in overcoming a personal fear.  Faith also implies advancement or accomplishment rather than wrongdoing, while belief implies neither.

[[Liberals]] and non-believers in general (see [[Atheism]]) will often try to use common descriptions of faith against faith in God the Lord. Dictionaries and other blasphemous publications, almost always with a strong [[liberal bias]], describe faith as the blind belief in something for which there is no evidence. This, however, is wrong. Faith can also describe the true, benevolent belief in our Lord God, for which there are literally oceans of evidence, but mainstream publications simply won't admit that, probably due to deceit. One should mind, however, that the true, transcedental definition of faith is *completely* different from any other, as [[Christianity]] is superior to any other form of belief.

Faith is also helpful in overcoming fear, such as fear of public speaking,  appearing on [[television]], or standing up to a [[bully]] or unpleasant situations.  Jesus reprimanded the [[Apostles]] for their [[faithless]] fear:  "The disciples went and woke him, saying, 'Lord, save us! We're going to drown!'  He replied, 'You of little faith, why are you so afraid?' Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm."<ref>Mt 8:25-26 (NIV)</ref>

Lack of faith can lead to fear, anxiety, depression, lack of confidence and sometimes death.  A lack of faith can be very harmful, leading to self-destructive behavior.  Faith can be described as the power to ignore the [[devil]] and all his antics.

Often faith inspires extra initiative or effort, adding confidence that it will yield the desired good result.  "Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on," and Jesus cured him.<ref>Mark 2:4</ref>

Faith is strengthened by prayer ([http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=jude%2020;&version=9; Jude 20]). For those who strengthen their faith, [[Jesus]] promised "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."<ref>John 14:12 (NIV).</ref>

Life itself may be the manifestation of God's faith.  Decay and death may be the manifestation of a lack or denial of faith.

Life itself may be the manifestation of God’s holy red wine.  Decay and death may be the manifestation of a lack of beer
