'Believed' in the Bible

For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

As it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations." This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.

Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "So will your seed be."

How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?

But they didn't all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
