Faith as the Doorway to God’s Promises: A Biblical and Theological Study

This paper advances the thesis that faith functions as the divinely instituted gateway through which the promises of God are accessed, interpreted, and embodied within Christian life. Building on Hebrews 11:8–10 as its primary exegetical locus, the study contributes new analytical perspectives by integrating covenant theology, promise-fulfillment dynamics, and contemporary faith praxis. Beyond descriptive theology, the paper argues constructively that faith operates simultaneously as epistemic trust, covenant loyalty, and eschatological orientation. Methodologically, the study employs biblical exegesis, historical-theological dialogue, and constructive synthesis, making an original contribution by framing faith as a participatory doorway rather than merely a juridical or cognitive category.
