Pistis (Relational Trust)

EN — Transliteration: Pístis

Centred on trust and mutual loyalty. Dogmatism transformed it into an obligatory intellectual assent to lists of beliefs, replacing peace with mental performance.

📖 Réf. : Mt 8:10 | Mt 9:2 | Mt 9:22 | Mk 11:22 | Lk 17:5-6 | Rom 1:17 | Rom 3:22 | Rom 10:17 | Gal 2:16 | Gal 2:20 | Eph 2:8

The term Pistis (translated as 'Faith') is at the heart of the Pauline gospel. However, it has been transformed by dogmatism into intellectual assent to doctrines.

🔬 A Relationship of Trust

Mutual loyalty: In biblical thought, pistis is not a belief in the invisible, but a relationship of trust and loyalty, like a child's trust in their parents or a wedding commitment.

The Faith of Christ: Paul speaks of the 'faith of Jesus' (Galatians 2:16), suggesting salvation rests on Christ's faithfulness to the Father, rather than the strength of our own belief.
