Confidence in something or someone. As most often used in the scriptures, faith is confidence and trust in Jesus Christ that lead a person to obey Him. Faith must be centered in Jesus Christ in order for it to lead a person to salvation. Latter-day Saints also have faith in God the Father, the Holy Ghost, priesthood power, and other important aspects of the restored gospel.
Faith includes a hope for things which are not seen, but which are true (Heb. 11:1 ; Alma 32:21 ; Ether 12:6 ). Faith is kindled by hearing the gospel taught by authorized administrators sent by God (Rom. 10:14–17 ). Miracles do not produce faith, but strong faith is developed by obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ. In other words, faith comes by righteousness (Alma 32:40–43 ; Ether 12:4, 6, 12 ; D&C 63:9–12 ).
True faith brings miracles, visions, dreams, healings, and all the gifts of God that He gives to His Saints. By faith one obtains a remission of sins and eventually is able to dwell in God’s presence. A lack of faith leads one to despair, which comes because of iniquity (Moro. 10:22 ).
