→Biblical faith: faith is trust based on evidence
Perhaps the greatest description of faith is Hebrews 11. It states: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."<ref>Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)</ref>

Jesus was unique in preaching the significance of faith apart from works for salvation. No other religion is based on faith-alone. Faith is mentioned 280 times in the New Testament. An example is Jesus observing the powerful healing faith of a Roman centurion: "Assuredly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!" (Matthew 8:10)
