Hebrews 11:1 What is faith?

Elder Bednar.
Elder David A. Bednar
“These teachings highlight three basic elements of faith: (1) faith as the assurance of things hoped for that are true, (2) faith as the evidence of things not seen, and (3) faith as the principle of action in all intelligent beings. I describe these three components of faith in the Savior as simultaneously facing the future, looking to the past, and initiating action in the present” (“Seek Learning by Faith,” Ensign, Sept. 2007, 62).
