Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1, NASB).
A Word From Billy Graham »
Faith is rationally impossible where there is nothing to believe. Faith must have an object. The object of Christian faith is Christ. Faith means more than an intellectual assent to the claims of Christ. Faith involves the will—a decision to believe in Christ.

We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
