Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)

Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. (II Cor. 5:6,7)

8For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves,

it is the gift of God;

9not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Ephesians 2:8-9 NASB

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
