Hebrews chapter 11:1 gives a Biblical definition of faith – “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Faith is important in the life of a Christian because without it, you cannot please God (Hebrews 11:6). Be inspired by these ordinary people who demonstrated great faith and received their healing.
