Definition of Faith

I always love reading books about faith and find a challenge every time I discover a new sense of faith.So here I share some of the definitions of faith from several sources.I read what a lot of faith in Hebrews times and to make it live is a matter of taking risks and commitments as Peter Kreeft John says faith is also perfect.

 "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." (Hebrew 11:1)
" Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation" - Elton Trueblood
" Faith is like lighting the torch that passes from one person to the next. You can't light the torch of another if yours isn't burning" - Charles R. Swindoll

" Faith is trust or commitment to what you think is true" - Peter John Kreeft, PH.D

"Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of 
       God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it."-
Martin Luther's Definition of Faith

"Belief that is not based on proof"-dictionary.reference.com
