Bible Verses About Faith

28 verses in the King James Version (KJV) and the Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Faith is often described as believing without seeing, but the Bible paints a fuller picture: trust that acts, holds on, and grows over time. Even the people closest to Jesus asked him to increase their faith, and one father famously prayed, "help my unbelief." These verses are for strong days and shaky ones alike. They show that faith doesn't have to be large to matter. It only has to be pointed in the right direction.
