Scripture uses this word in two ways, but with two entirely different meanings. As a rule, when the article “the” is used with “faith,” it is referring to the Christian revelation of truth. For instance, Jude 3 says, “The faith that was once delivered to the saints.” But when the article “the” is not mentioned, it is simply referring to the inward energy of a soul’s confidence in God. For instance, Acts 20:21 Says, “Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”
