from Webster's 1828 dictionary, the definitions are fascinating. You may read them here
from the Old Testament, the Hebrew word is:
אֵמוּן ʼêmûwn, ay-moon'; from H539; established, i.e. (figuratively) trusty; also (abstractly) trustworthiness:—faith(-ful), truth.
from the New Testament, the Greek word is:
πίστις pístis, pis'-tis; from G3982; persuasion, i.e. credence; moral conviction (of religious truth, or the truthfulness of God or a religious teacher), especially reliance upon Christ for salvation; abstractly, constancy in such profession; by extension, the system of religious (Gospel) truth itself:—assurance, belief, believe, faith, fidelity.
I'm going to meditate and reflect on verses with the words faith this month, and would love for us to teach each other what we learn. Won't you join me?
