    ... faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen - Hebrews 11:1

    Faith is having a trust and belief in something because you can feel it's true and valid in your heart without the need to see it to know.

    Faith: belief in something that has not been or cannot be proved. It often includes believing in something that has been proven impossible (such as the Exodus or the Noah story, for examples)

    To believe without having or needing proof. I think you cannot get a simpler and more correct definition.

    Faith is Trust

    Faith is trusting God

    Faith is not Blind because people who trust God have heard/read His message.

    One does not have Faith/trust that God exists. I know God exists.

    One has Faith/Trust in Gods will and His desire for their Eternal Good.

    I agree with what you say except on the point where you say you "know" that God exists. I'm not saying you cannot know that He exists, but if you do, then you should be able to make other people know him too, and I'm not sure that that is possible...

    No. I cannot Make anyone know that God exists, But God can personally reveal Himself to someone to assure them that He exists.
