What is faith in Jesus Christ?

Faith in Jesus Christ is acknowledging the truth of everything that

God has revealed in his Word, trusting in him, and also receiving and resting on him alone for salvation as he is offered to us in the gospel.

KALETIA 2:20

Kuo tutuki au ki he Kolosi mo Kalaisi: pea ko ‘eku mo‘ui ‘oku fai, ‘oku ‘ikai kei ko au, ka ko e mo‘ui ‘oku fai ‘e Kalaisi ‘iate au: ‘io, ko e mo‘ui ‘oku ou fai ‘eni ‘i he kakano ko e mo‘ui ‘i he tui, ko e tui ki he ‘Alo ‘o e ‘Otua, ‘a ia na‘a ne ‘ofeina au, mo ne foaki ia ‘e ia ke pekia koe‘uhi ko au.

GALATIANS 2:20

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Commentary - JONATHAN EDWARDS (cont…)

The definition might have been expressed in these words: faith is the soul's entirely adhering and acquiescing in the revelation of Jesus Christ as our Saviour - Or thus: faith is the soul's embracing that truth of God, that reveals Jesus Christ as our Saviour - Or thus: faith is the soul's entirely acquiescing in, and depending upon, the truth of God, revealing Christ as our Saviour.

It is the whole soul according and assenting to the truth, and embracing of it. There is an entire yielding of the mind and heart to the revelation, and a closing with it, and adhering to it, with the belief, and with the inclination and affection."
