Mark 11:22
הֵשִׁיב יֵשׁוּעַ וְאָמַר לָהֶם׃ ״תְּהֵא נָא בָּכֶם אֱמוּנַת אֱלֹהִים.

14:22 יֵשׁ לְךָ אֱמוּנָה, חֲיֵה בָּהּ בְּעַצְמְךָ לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים. אַשְׁרֵי הָאָדָם שֶׁאֵינוֹ מַרְשִׁיעַ אֶת עַצְמוֹ בְּמַה שֶּׁהוּא בּוֹרֵר לוֹ.14:23 אַךְ הָאוֹכֵל וּבְלִבּוֹ סָפֵק –– אָשֵׁם, כִּי לֹא מִתּוֹךְ אֱמוּנָה פָּעַל. וְכָל מַה שֶּׁאֵינוֹ מִתּוֹךְ אֱמוּנָה חֵטְא הוּא.

Romans 14:22–23
14:22 The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. 14:23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin. (NASB)

There are several verses in the Torah that emphasize the importance of having faith in God, much like the concepts found in Mark 11:22 and Romans 14:22-23. For example, in Genesis 15:6 “Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.” This verse highlights Abram’s (later Abraham) faith in God’s promises, which was deemed righteous. We also read according to Deuteronomy 1:32 “In spite of this, you did not trust in the LORD your God.” This verse addresses the lack of faith among the Israelites and highlights the importance of trusting in God’s guidance and promises. Also, Exodus 14:31 states, “And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand of the LORD displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant.” This verse underscores the faith of Israel in the Lord God after witnessing His power. These verses, like those in the NT, emphasize the significance of faith and trust in God’s plans and promises. The concept of faith is foundational in both the Torah and the broader biblical tradition, encouraging believers to rely on and trust in God and in His Messiah. This is how Yeshua and Paul taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
