Bible verses about
faith
Faith is trusting God where sight runs out — taking him at his word and resting on his character. Scripture presents faith not as a leap into the dark but as confident assurance grounded in who God is and what he has promised. These King James verses describe what faith is, how it grows, and why "without faith it is impossible to please him."
