Titus 1:16. Many people profess to know God, but they are without conscience. Many people may really believe they know God, but in their works they deny Him. Many people may talk about their love of God and profess His word, but their action show they are without conscience (Titus 1:15-16, "Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.").

What is Christian faith? Why is faith so important? How do you get faith?

These questions are key for understanding Christianity, for new believers as well as all Christians. Christianity and faith go hand in hand. No one can call themselves a Christian without faith in Jesus Christ.

Key Bible Scripture

Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Luke 23:18. The essence of our sin nature is to rebel against God. This was personified when Jesus was brought before Pilate. The Jews had a choice of releasing Barabbas, a rebel, or Jesus, a man with no faults. The Jews in their defiant behavior chose to release Barabbas and for Jesus to be punished [Luke 23:18-19, "And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)" ].
