Where in the Bible was faith mentioned first?

Answer 1

Faith was first mentioned in The Bible in the book of Genesis, specifically in Genesis 15:6, where it is said that Abraham believed in the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness. This verse highlights the importance of faith in the biblical narrative, emphasizing the concept of trusting in God's promises. Abraham's faith is often cited as a foundational example of faith in both the Old and New Testaments.

Answer 2

If you are looking for where the word "faith" first appears in the Bible, it would depend on the translation/version of the Bible.

Generally speaking, however, it is in the book of Genesis... Gen 15:6 (NET): Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord considered his response of faith as proof of genuine loyalty.

Answer 3

Deuteronomy 32:20 in KJV

Genesis 22:1 in AMP

Matthew 6:30 YLT

In my personal view, the YLT has this correct as it is Jesus who introduces the world to faith.
