FAITH IN PEOPLE: 1 CORINTHIANS 4:12

1. God's Faithfulness

a) The topic of faith is important in all religious systems. But what exactly is faith?  The biblical definition comes from Hebrews 11:1 which says, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”  It is simply believing in something that you cannot see.  There are many passages throughout the Biblical text that deal with faith and faithfulness.  We know that a characteristic of God is that He is faithful.   

Psalms 86:15
But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

2. Faith In People

1 Corinthians 4:12
Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
