Pistis è la fede: la fiducia riposta in Dio e nelle sue promesse. È la mano vuota che riceve ciò che Dio dona gratuitamente, e la fiducia salda con cui vivono i giusti.

Pistis means more than intellectual agreement; it is trust that leans its full weight on another. Biblically, faith is directed at a person — God, and specifically Christ — relying on his character and promises rather than on one’s own performance.

Hebrews 11:1 calls it “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen,” then parades a gallery of people who acted on God’s word. Saving faith is this kind of trust resting on Jesus: not a leap in the dark, but confidence grounded in who God has shown himself to be.
