Bible Verses About Faith

By trusting, Rachav the prostitute welcomed the spies and therefore did not die along with those who were disobedient.

What more should I say? There isn’t time to tell about Gid‘on, Barak, Shimshon, Yiftach, David, Sh’mu’el and the prophets;

who, through trusting, conquered kingdoms, worked righteousness, received what was promised, shut the mouths of lions,

quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, had their weakness turned to strength, grew mighty in battle and routed foreign armies.

Women received back their dead resurrected; other people were stretched on the rack and beaten to death, refusing to be ransomed, so that they would gain a better resurrection.

Others underwent the trials of being mocked and whipped, then chained and imprisoned.

They were stoned, sawed in two, murdered by the sword; they went about clothed in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted, mistreated,

wandering about in deserts and mountains, living in caves and holes in the ground! The world was not worthy of them!

All of these had their merit attested because of their trusting. Nevertheless, they did not receive what had been promised,

Keep your lives free from the love of money; and be satisfied with what you have; for God himself has said, “I will never fail you or abandon you.”

Therefore, we say with confidence, “Adonai is my helper; I will not be afraid — what can a human being do to me?”

My brothers, practice the faith of our Lord Yeshua, the glorious Messiah, without showing favoritism.

Suppose a man comes into your synagogue wearing gold rings and fancy clothes, and also a poor man comes in dressed in rags.

If you show more respect to the man wearing the fancy clothes and say to him, “Have this good seat here,” while to the poor man you say, “You, stand over there,” or, “Sit down on the floor by my feet,”

then aren’t you creating distinctions among yourselves, and haven’t you made yourselves into judges with evil motives?

Listen, my dear brothers, hasn’t God chosen the poor of the world to be rich in faith and to receive the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

But you despise the poor! Aren’t the rich the ones who oppress you and drag you into court?

Aren’t they the ones who insult the good name of Him to whom you belong?

If you truly attain the goal of Kingdom Torah, in conformity with the passage that says, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.

But if you show favoritism, your actions constitute sin, since you are convicted under the Torah as transgressors.

For a person who keeps the whole Torah, yet stumbles at one point, has become guilty of breaking them all.

For the One who said, “Don’t commit adultery,” also said, “Don’t murder.” Now, if you don’t commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the Torah.

Keep speaking and acting like people who will be judged by a Torah which gives freedom.

For judgment will be without mercy toward one who doesn’t show mercy; but mercy wins out over judgment.

What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith but has no actions to prove it? Is such “faith” able to save him?
