I will take the faith challenge!

Faith: Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing. Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. The theological virtue defined as secure belief in God and trusting acceptance of God's will. Complete confidence in a person or plan etc;

Faith is in general the persuasion of the mind that a certain statement is true(Phil.1:27; 2 Thess. 2:13). It's primary idea is trust. A thing is true, and therefore worthy of trust. It admits of many degrees up to full assurance of faith, in accordance with the evidence on which it rests.

I believe faith is important to us as born again christians as it is the foundation of why we live as we live. If we have faith in God, we are believing what he says is true and that he will fullfill his promises.

"...not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ-the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith." - Philipians 3:9

How can we heal the sick without faith? how can we serve the poor without faith? How can we love without faith?
