CCC 146
Profession of Faith›SECTION ONE "I BELIEVE" - "WE BELIEVE"›CHAPTER THREE MAN'S RESPONSE TO GOD›I. The Obedience of Faith
Abraham thus fulfils the definition of faith in Hebrews 11:1: "Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen": "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness." Because he was "strong in his faith", Abraham became the "father of all who believe".
