The Substance of Things Hoped For

"the faith of the saints"

Revelation 13:10

Recently I was reading the last chapter of the Book of Romans, and was reminded of one of my favorite phrases of Paul's, "the obedience of faith".  (It's used in chapters 1 and 16.)  I remember the first time I read that phrase, and I absolutely loved the concept of faith being the origin and source of obedience.  So today I thought I'd share what I discovered, when I looked to see what else we should know about faith:  what it gives us ~ what it leads to ~ what it consists of.
