Meaning of Faith and Work
Faith is a trust or confidence in the intentions or abilities of a person, object or ideal. Faith is also the process of forming or understanding abstractions, ideas or beliefs, without empirical (based on experience) evidence, experience or observation. The Bible in Hebrews 11: 1 defines faith as: “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. The Bible further states that it is by faith that the men of old received divine approval and also it is by faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear. Hebrews 11:2 – 3
On the other hand, work is the physical effort employed in an activity or an idea. Thus faith and work may mean: physical effort employed in expressing the trust, confidence and hope you have formed in God of things not seen.
