Faith

Faith is the substance of things hoped for
The evidence of things unseen
While abounding towards forevermore
Steadfast with hope that's bright and clean

Faith at the foundation is personal
There Christ can dwell inside the heart
It is the Gospel's first principle
Where roots are grounded for their start

We come in unity of our faith
To grow in knowledge of God's Son
Here we come to talk of Christ and pray
That our hearts may combine as one

With faith, we're made alive in Christ
No longer to be drowning and tossed about
May our voices ring out to God on high
With new faith that heals all doubt

“Faith in Jesus Christ,”
Liahona, Mar 2008, 24–30

Heb. 11: 1
1 Now faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Eph. 3: 17
That Christ may dwell in your hearts
by faith; that ye, being rooted and
grounded in love,

Eph. 4: 11
13 Till we all come in the unity of the
faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of
God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure
of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children,
tossed to and fro, and carried about with
every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men,
and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in
wait to deceive;

2 Nephi 25
25 For, for this end was the law given;
wherefore the law hath become dead unto us,
and we are made alive in Christ because of
our faith; yet we keep the law because of
the commandments.
26 And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in
Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of
Christ, and we write according to our prophecies,
that our children may know to what source
they may look for a remission of their sins.

2 Ne. 31
20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a
steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness
of hope, and a love of God and of all men.
Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting
upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end,
behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have
eternal life.
