Catechism of the Catholic Church

2. The personal adherence of man to God, and the free assent to the whole truth that God has revealed, is called:
perseverence
faith
hope
love
belief

Para. 150: Faith is first of all a personal adherence of man to God. At the same time, and inseparably, it is a free assent to the whole truth that God has revealed. As personal adherence to God and assent to his truth, Christian faith differs from our faith in any human person. It is right and just to entrust oneself wholly to God and to believe absolutely what he says. It would be futile and false to place such faith in a creature (Cf. Jer 17:5-6; Ps 40:5; 146:3-4)."
