NOW FAITH IS!!!!

According to Heb 11:1 What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see. (http://www.biblestudytools.com/nlt/) And according to the NKJV Heb 11:1 says; Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
