WHAT IS FAITH? The Greek word translated faith (Pistis) also means conviction of the truthfulness of God. Thus, when we talk about having faith in God, we invoke God’s integrity; how truthful He is to keep His Word and how convinced or persuaded we are that God is indeed truthful.

The Greek word translated conscience in the Bible (e.g. Romans 9:1, 1 Timothy 1:5, 1 Timothy 1:19) is “soonidaysis”, which also
