Vine's Expository Dictionary
"The main elements in
"faith" in its relation to the invisible God, as distinct from
"faith" in man, are especially brought out in the use of this
noun and the corresponding verb, pisteuo; they are (1) a firm conviction,
producing a full acknowledgement of God's revelation or truth, e.g., 2
Thess. 2:11,12; (2) a personal surrender to Him, John 1:12; (3) a conduct
inspired by such surrender, 2 Cor. 5:7. Prominence is given to one or
other of these elements according to the context. All this stands in
contrast to belief in its purely natural exercise, which consists of an
opinion held in good "faith" without necessary reference to its
proof. The object of Abraham's "faith" was not God's promise
(that was the occasion of its exercise); his "faith" rested on
God Himself, Rom. 4:17,20,21."
