Faith allowed power to flow from Jesus even without his initiative. What is faith?

Hebrews11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. 2This is what the ancients were commended for. Faith is the keyword of our salvation, it is by faith that we are saved from damnation, having faith in jesus christ is what saves us from eternal hell, `Without faith it is impossible to please God ''Heb.11:6''. it is our only channel of reaching God since we do not experience God physically.Faith, is the certainty of the grace of God. the true faith if present in the heart of someone would make him HAPPILY give up his/her life for it. the real faith makes a person very happy and joyful and content .by faith a person would want to do good to people without coercion and without expecting anything in return.Doing good only by the power of that faith that u have.you cant seperate faith from deeds , this is the case of all human beings who have the faith in jesus christ, and how more powerful would that faith be if it is the faith that the lord jesus christ has in his father , our God.However this power flowing from jesus and all those who have faith is not what faith does.Faith is the means through which God shows himself to us, .Faith is not our saviour, it is not faith that died for us, or promised us salvation.faith is what binds us to God.

Why did the people ask Jesus to leave their region after they heard about the pigs?

in many places in the bible we read about the fac that even the closest to jesus at certain points show some hesitation , and that makes jesus wonder many times why their faith is so weak after seeing all that he has done, so naturally although many of the people were accepting him and believing in him, however mankind is always doubtfull of that which he doesnt understand, so seeing the control he had over the demons would surely make them fear him and his authority and power, wondering where he gets the power to rule over the demons, could it be the devil himself?mankind usually is prone to identify with evil more than what can conquere it.so it was easier for them to ask him to leave their regions rather than comprehend the consequences of what they saw.

How did the disciples` fear before the storm differ from their fear after the storm?

the first fear is the fear of death, fear of being abandoned , they obviously knew thay jesus can do something about the storm for they woke him up and asked him , Teacher, don`t you care that we are dying? surely they wanted him to do something because they had seen the miracles he had done.but with all that they had already seen it was not really easy for them to accept at face value that such a person is actually amongst them.they had faith in jesus .they did believe that they r with the son of God , but knowing this and actually seeing it with their human eyes and human understanding would make a person stunned, awe struck even if he had a faith that is based on the rock.It is the fear of being in the presence of the lord of lords who has such authority over all in this world and even nature.
