Below is an excerpt from the June 2010 issue of my monthly newsletter called: "to the Saving of the Soul".
The scripture says that faith, (Greek – PISTIS, pronounced pee stees), is the stuff, the material, the body and composition, the core and essence of the things that we hope for, which we have not yet perceived with our senses, and is the proof, confirmation, facts, substantiation, verification and support of these things, which we have not seen.
It was by this same faith that the elders listed in Hebrews 11 obtained a good report. It is also through this same faith believers understand that the Word of God framed the material worlds from the immaterial things. Faith is associated with us understanding the creative act of God because we need to understand what the Word of God did then and is able to do now. Faith comes to us when we hear the word of God.
We were justified by faith and we made peace with God through Jesus. Why aren’t we operating in faith with results? It was through faith that we accepted Christ and were reconnected to God.

"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence." 1 Corinthians 1:25-29 (KJV)
