Wojciechowski, MichałSzmajdziński, Mariusz2022-10-102022-10-102015Gloriam praecedit humilitas, 2015, s. 847-858.978-83-65209-12-2http://theo-logos.pl/xmlui/handle/123456789/1273The biblical notion of faith has a rich meaning. It presupposes confidence in God and in salvation as a starting point. The human response to God revealed is faithfulness. This word corresponds to the Hebrew meaning of the word translated as “faith”. Faithfulness results in proclaiming faith and implies formulating our convictions about God. However, the modern notion of faith seems dominated by this intellectual aspect. Paul understood faith as faithfulness, according to the Hebrew notion of faith, whereas some readers of Paul and the Epistle of James have stressed its intellectual side, which resulted in a misunderstanding concerning works. Faithfulness covers deeds, but convictions need to be supplemented by them; we should not only believe, we should be faithful.plAttribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/pl/biblijne pojęcie wiarywiara i uczynkiwiarauczynkiwiernośćzaufanieBibliaPismo Świętebiblical notion of faithfaith and worksfaithdeedsfaithfulnessconfiancetrustBibleArticle
