What Are The Basic Elements Of Faith (NLT)

Trust In God And Commitment To Christ   
Genesis 15:6; Proverbs 3:5; Romans 3:22 & Hebrews 11:1
Genesis 15:6     And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.
Proverbs 3:5     Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
Romans 3:22     We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
Hebrews 11:1    Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.

Truths Of The Faith Are Important                    I Timothy 3:9 and I Timothy 4:1
(True Knowledge of God and Christ)
I Timothy 3:9  They must be committed to the mystery of the faith now revealed and must live with a clear conscience.
I Timothy 4:1  Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons.

They Must Be Based On God's Word               2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.

They Are Worth Fighting For                             Jude 3         
Jude 1:3  Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the faith that God has entrusted once for all time to his holy people.
