FAITH IN THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the noun “faith” and the verb “to believe” that appear in the Acts of the Apostles. The noun “faith” appears for the first time in the context of a healing miracle – Acts 3:16 – identical to St. Paul’s miracle at Iconium (see Acts 14:8- 10). Miracles are wrought by people filled with faith. There are persons who by faith accept the message of the Gospel, who also do miracles, but there are also persons who persecute them. The verb “to believe” shows us not only the assumptions of faith, but also identifies who the people who believe were, who or what they believe in, and what the consequences of their beliefs are. “Believers” are all people who have accepted the message of Jesus Christ and lived as “saved souls” in the community – the Church. This is the realization of God’s plan of salvation and of His Kingdom, as announced by the Scriptures.
