Paul's writings

FAITH - And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrew 11:6

Bible teacher Howard Hendricks:
“A belief is something you will argue about.
A conviction is something you will die for!”
